Transmission of Baseband Signals Block diagram (Cont.)

• Data already in a digital format would bypass the formatting function.

•Textual information is transformed into binary digits by use of a coder (for ex. ASCII code(American Standard Code for Information Interchange). • Analog information is formatted using three separate processes: - Sampling - Quantization - Coding In all cases, the formatting step results in a sequence of binary digits. •These digits are transmitted through a baseband channel after transforming the digits to waveforms (pulses).

Formatting Text (cont.) • Message: Text message consists of a sequence of

alphanumeric Characters.

• Bit stream: When digitally transmitted, the characters are

first encoded to a sequence of bits called bit

stream.

• Symbols: group of k bits can be combined to form a

symbols, from a finite symbol set of

symbols.

A system using symbol set of size M is called M-ary system

For k=1 (i.e. M=2), the system is called Binary (only two

waveforms is used). For k=2, (i.e. M=4), the system is

called 4-ary system.

Formatting Analog Information

• Analog information is formatted using three separate

processes:

- Sampling

- Quantization

- Coding

The process of transforming an analog waveform into a form that is compatible with a digital communication system starts with sampling the waveform to produce a discrete pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) waveform.

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


Pulse Amplitude Modulation • PAM is an engineering term that is used to describe the

conversion of the analog signal to a pulse type signal in which the amplitude of the pulse represents the analog information.

• Because it uses pulses, the BW of the PAM is wider than of the analog waveform.

Sampling • Analog signal is sampled every TS seconds.

• Ts is referred to as the sampling interval.

• fs = 1/Ts is called the sampling rate or sampling frequency.

• There are 3 sampling methods:

– Impulse (ideal) sampling - an impulse at each sampling instant

– Natural sampling - a pulse of short width with varying amplitude

– Flat-top sampling - sample and hold, like natural but with single amplitude value.

• The process is referred to as pulse amplitude modulation PAM .

11

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


Impulse (Ideal) Sampling • Impulse sampling is performed by multiplying the

waveform with a unit-weight impulse train.

• The resulting sampled

waveform is given by:

multiplying w(t) by a train of pulses:

• Natural sampling takes a slice

of the waveform and the top of

the slice preserves the shape of

the waveform.

Top Sampling-Flat

• Easy to implement using sample and hold operation. • Flat top sampling takes a slice of the waveform but cuts off the top of the slice horizontally. The top of the slice does not preserve the shape of the waveform.

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


Top Sampling-Comparison between Natural Sampling and Flat

- In flat top sampling the electronic circuit required for sampling are less complicated as compared to the one used in natural sampling because it is easier to generate rectangular pulses with fixed amplitude.

- if message reconstruction by lowpass filtering: Natural samples results in no distortion but there is a distortion when flat top pulses are involved because is multiplied by another function of frequency( )

26

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


top sampling is so common in communication -Why Flatalthough it generates spectral distortion

The reasons for using flat top sampling in communications are:

(1) The rectangular pulse (in Time Domain) is an in easy

shape to generate.

(2) The distortion in the spectrum can be corrected in the

receiver by using a low pass filter followed by an

equalizing filter as shown in the fig:

– What should be the sampling rate?

– Can we reconstruct the original signal after the sampling process?

Sampling Theorem

• Sampling Theorem states that

A band-limited signal of finite energy which has no frequency components higher than W Hz may be completely recovered from knowledge of its samples taken at the rate of fs=2W samples per second.

• fS=2W is called the Nyquist Rate

• Ts=1/2W is called the Nyquist interval

33

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


According to the Nyquist theorem, the

sampling rate must be

at least 2 times the highest frequency

contained in the signal.

Then

34

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


Practical Sampling Rates

• Speech: » Telephone quality speech has a bandwidth of 4

kHz

» Most digital telephone systems sample at 8000 samples/sec

• Audio: » The highest frequency the human ear can hear

is approximately 15 kHz

» CDs sample at rate 44,000 samples/sec

• Video: » The human eye requires samples at a rate of at

least 20 frames/sec to achieve smooth motion

35

Dr. Ahmed El-Mahdy


A complex low-pass signal has a bandwidth of 200 kHz. What is the minimum

sampling frequency for this signal? If the signal is multiplied by a a cos with

frequency fc=1 MHz What is the minimum sampling frequency in this case?

Solution The bandwidth of a low-pass signal is between 0 and f,

where f is the maximum frequency in the signal.

Therefore, we can sample this signal at 2 times the

highest frequency (200 kHz). The sampling rate is

therefore 400 KHz.

-The maximum frequency in the signal now is 1200 kHz,

then the minimum sampling rate is: 2400 kHz
