Dr. Grami received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto. He has worked for Nortel Networks, where he was involved in the research, design, and development of North America's first digital cellular wireless system.He later joined Telesat Canada, where he was the lead researcher and principal designer of Canada's Anik-F2 Ka-band system, the world's first broadband access satellite system. Dr. Grami is currently an associate professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), where as a founding faculty member he has led the development of various programs, including the BEng, MEng, and PhD programs in ECE.

Fundamental Aspects of Digital Communications


Abstract


This chapter briefly provides a descriptive overview of major aspects of digital communications with a view to set the stage for what will be covered in the rest of the book. A quantitative discussion and detailed analysis of critical elements of digital communication systems will be provided in the following chapters. To provide a fundamental understanding of digital communication system analysis and design, this chapter begins with the rationale behind digital, vis-à-vis analog. The focus then turns toward network models, transmission media and impairments, and radio transmission and spectrum. Following a brief discussion on the fundamental limits in digital transmission, an array of inter-related, inter-dependent design objectives and a host of interacting and conflicting design constraints are identified.

Introduction


In today’s world, communications are essential and pervasive, as the age of communications with anyone, anytime, anywhere has arrived. The theme is multimedia—the confluence of voice, data, image, music, text, graphics, and video warranting simultaneous transmission in an integrated fashion. With the push of advancing digital technology and the pull of public demand for an array of innovative applications, it is highly anticipated that every aspect of digital communications will continue to broaden so as to usher in even more achievements. The emerging trend is toward low-cost, high-speed, high-performance, utterly-secure, highly-personalized, context-aware, location-sensitive, and time-critical multimedia applications. After studying this chapter on the fundamental aspects of digital communications and understanding all relevant concepts, students should be able to do the following:

1. State the numerous merits of digital and its dominance in communications.

2. Know the few drawbacks of digital and how they can be mitigated.

3. Understand how text can be represented.

4. Expand on the audio characteristics and the impact of digitization on speech and music.

5. Explain the attributes of image and video and the impact of compression on them.

6. Identify how computers form packets to send them over communication networks.

7. Distinguish between the various characteristics associated with wired transmission media.

8. Highlight the benefits and shortcomings associated with radio communications.

9. Assess various modes of radio wave propagation.

10. Define the modulation process.

11. Identify the principal reasons signals may need to be modulated.

12. Describe signal attenuation.

13. Differentiate among different types of distortions along with their possible remedies.

14. Discuss various sources of interference and how to mitigate them.

15. Summarize various sources of noise.

16. Grasp the limiting factors of a band-limited Gaussian channel.

17. Appreciate the relationship among power, bandwidth, and capacity.

18. Outline digital communication design objectives.

19. List digital communication design constraints.

20. Connect the fundamental aspects of digital communications.

2.1 Why Digital?


The telegraph, invented in the mid-nineteenth century, was the forerunner of digital communications. However, it is now that we can emphatically say digital is the pervasive technology of the twenty-first century and beyond, as the first generation of cellular phones in the late seventies was the last major analog communication invention. During the past three decades, communication networks, systems, and devices have all moved toward digital. The primary examples are wireless networks, Internet, MP3 players, smartphones, HDTV, GPS, and satellite TV and radio. Digital communication technology will continue to bring about intelligent infrastructures and sophisticated end-user devices, through which a host of applications in entertainment (e.g., wireless video on demand), education (e.g., online interactive multimedia courses), information (e.g., 3-D video streaming), and business (e.g., mobile commerce) will be provided. The burgeoning field of digital communications will thus continue to affect almost all aspects of our contemporary life.

A basic definition of digital is the transmission of a message using binary digits (bits) or symbols from a finite alphabet during a finite time interval (bit or symbol duration). A bit or symbol occurring in each interval is mapped onto a continuous-time waveform that is then sent across the channel. Over any finite interval, the continuous-time waveform at the channel output belongs to a finite set of possible waveforms. This is in contrast to analog communications, where the output can assume any possible waveform. Digital can bring about many significant benefits, of course, at the expense of few shortcomings, for there is no free lunch in digital communications.

2.1.1 Advantages of Digital


Design efficiency: Digital is inherently more efficient than analog in exchanging power for bandwidth, the two premium resources in communications. Since an essentially unlimited range of signal conditioning and processing options are available to the designer, effective trade-offs among power, bandwidth, performance, and complexity can be more readily accommodated. For any required performance, there is a three-way trade-off among power, bandwidth, and complexity (i.e., an increase in one means the other two will be reduced).

Versatile hardware: The processing power of digital integrated circuits continues to approximately double every 18 months to 2 years. These programmable processors easily allow the implementation of improved designs or changed requirements. Digital circuits are generally less sensitive to physical effects, such as vibration, aging components, and external temperature. They also allow a greater dynamic range (the difference between the largest and the smallest signal values). Processing is now less costly than precious bandwidth and power resources. This in turn allows considerable flexibility in designing communication systems.

New and enhanced services: In today’s widely distributed way of life, Internet services, such as web browsing, e-mailing, texting, e-commerce, streaming and interactive multimedia services, have all become feasible and some even indispensable. It is also easier to integrate different services, with various modalities, into the same transmission scheme or to enhance services through transmission of some additional information, such as playing music or receiving a phone call with all relevant details.

Control of quality: A desired distortion level can be initially set and then kept nearly fixed at that value at every step (link) of a digital communication path. This reconstruction of the digital signal is done by appropriately-spaced regenerative repeaters, which do not allow accumulation of noise and interference. On the other hand, once the analog signal is distorted, the distortion cannot be removed and a repeater in an analog system (i.e., an amplifier) regenerates the distortion together with the signal. In a way, in an analog system, the noises add, whereas in a digital system, the bit error rates add. In other words, with many regenerative repeaters along the path, the impact in an analog system is a reduction of many decibels (dBs) in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), whereas the effect in a digital system is a reduction of only a few dBs in the SNR.
