Baseband
Transmissi
on
• Before it can be transmitted, the information or
intelligence must be converted to an electronic signal
compatible with the medium. For example, a microphone
changes voice signals (sound waves) into an analog
voltage of varying frequency and amplitude. This signal is
then passed over wires to a speaker or headphones. This
is the way the telephone system works.
• A video camera generates an
analog signal that represents the
light variations along one scan
line of the picture. This analog
signal is usually transmitted over
a coaxial cable. Binary data is
generated by a keyboard
attached to a computer. The
computer stores the data and
processes it in some way. The
data is then transmitted on
cables to peripherals such as a
printer or to other computers over
a LAN. Regardless of whether
the original information or
intelligence signals are analog or
digital, they are all referred to as
baseband signals.
Baseband Transmission
In a communication system, baseband
information signals can be sent directly and
unmodified over the medium or can be used to
modulate a carrier for transmission over the
medium. Putting the original voice, video, or
digital signals directly into the medium is
referred to as baseband transmission. For
example, in many telephone and intercom
systems, it is the voice itself that is placed on the
wires and transmitted over some distance to the
receiver. In most computer networks, the digital
signals are applied directly to coaxial or twisted-
pair cables for transmission to another
computer.

Broadband Transmission
• Modulation is the process of having
a baseband voice, video, or digital
signal modify another, higher-
frequency signal, the carrier. The
information or intelligence to be
sent is said to be impressed upon
the carrier. The carrier is usually a
sine wave generated by an
oscillator. The carrier is fed to a
circuit called a modulator along with
the baseband intelligence signal.
The intelligence signal changes the
carrier in a unique way. The
modulated carrier is amplified and
sent to the antenna for
transmission. This process is called
broadband transmission.
• In frequency-division multiplexing, the
intelligence signals modulate subcarriers on
different frequencies that are then added
together, and the composite signal is used to
modulate the carrier.
• In time-division multiplexing, the multiple
intelligence signals are sequentially sampled, and
a small piece of each is used to modulate the
carrier.
• In code-division multiplexing, the signals to be
transmitted are converted to digital data that is
then uniquely coded with a faster binary code.

Editor's Notes

  1. In a communication system, baseband information signals can be sent directly and unmodii ed over the medium or can be used to modulate a carrier for transmission over the medium. Putting the original voice, video, or digital signals directly into the medium is referred to as baseband transmission. For example, in many telephone and intercom systems, it is the voice itself that is placed on the wires and transmitted over some distance to the receiver. In most computer networks, the digital signals are applied directly to coaxial or twisted-pair cables for transmission to another computer.
  2. For example, in many telephone and intercomsystems, it is the voice itself that is placed on the wires and transmitted over some distance to the receiver. In most computer networks, the digital signals are applied directly to coaxial or twisted-pair cables for transmission to another computer. In many instances, baseband signals are incompatible with the medium. Although it is theoretically possible to transmit voice signals directly by radio, realistically it is impractical. As a result, the baseband information signal, be it audio, video, or data, is normally used to modulate a high-frequency signal called a carrier. The higher- frequency carriers radiate into space more efi ciently than the baseband signals themselves. Such wireless signals consist of both electric and magnetic i elds. These electromagnetic signals, which are able to travel through space for long distances, are also referred to as radio-frequency (RF) waves, or just radio waves.
  3. The three ways to make the baseband signal change the carrier sine wave are to vary its amplitude, vary its frequency, or vary its phase angle. The two most common methods of modulation are amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). In AM, the baseband information signal called the modulating signal varies the amplitude of the higher-frequency carrier signal, as shown in Fig. 1-8(a). It changes the Vp part of the equation. In FM, the information signal varies the frequency of the carrier, as shown in Fig. 1-8(b). The carrier amplitude remains constant. FM varies the value of f in the i rst angle term inside the parentheses. Varying the phase angle produces phase modulation (PM). Here, the second term inside the parentheses () is made to vary by the intelligence signal. Phase modulation produces frequency modulation; therefore, the PM signal is similar in appearance to a frequency-modulated carrier. Two common examples of transmitting digital data by modulation are given in Fig. 1-9. In Fig. 1-9(a), the data is converted to frequency-varying tones. This is called frequency-shift keying (FSK). In Fig. 1-9(b), the data introduces a 180º-phase shift. This is called phase-shift keying (PSK). Devices called modems (modulator-demodulator) translate the data from digital to analog and back again. Both FM and PM are forms of angle modulation. At the receiver, the carrier with the intelligence signal is amplii ed and then demodulated to extract the original baseband signal. Another name for the demodulation process is detection. (See Fig. 1-10.)
  4. In optical networking, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is equivalent to frequency-division multiplexing for optical signal. In time-division multiplexing, the multiple intelligence signals are sequentially sampled, and a small piece of each is used to modulate the carrier. If the information signals are sampled fast enough, sufficient details are transmitted that at the receiving end the signal can be reconstructed with great accuracy. In code-division multiplexing, the signals to be transmitted are converted to digital data that is then uniquely coded with a faster binary code. The signals modulate a carrier on the same frequency. All use the same communications channel simultaneously. The unique coding is used at the receiver to select the desired signal.
