Wireless Transmission
 Wireless transmission is a form of unguided media. Wireless communication involves no
physical link established between two or more devices, communicating wirelessly. Wireless
signals are spread over in the air and are received and interpreted by appropriate antennas.
 When an antenna is attached to electrical circuit of a computer or wireless device, it converts
the digital data into wireless signals and spread all over within its frequency range. The
receptor on the other end receives these signals and converts them back to digital data

2. Define signals

 In general, a signal refers to any physical quantity or information that varies over time, space,
or some other dimension. In the context of communication and electronics, signals usually
refer to electrical or electromagnetic waves that carry information or instructions.
 A signal can be defined as a time-varying or spatially varying quantity that conveys
information about a physical system or process. Signals can be represented as a function of
time, space, or some other variable, and can be either continuous or discrete.

3.Antenna

An Antenna is a transducer, which converts electrical power into electromagnetic waves and vice
versa. An Antenna can be used either as a transmitting antenna or a receiving antenna.
 A transmitting antenna is one, which converts electrical signals into electromagnetic waves
and radiates them.
 A receiving antenna is one, which converts electromagnetic waves from the received beam
into electrical signals.
 In two-way communication, the same antenna can be used for both transmission and
reception.

4.GSM

GSM, which stands for Global System for Mobile Communications, is a digital cellular network
technology used for mobile communication. GSM uses time division multiple access (TDMA)
technology to allow multiple users to share the same frequency band by dividing it into time
slots. This technology enables multiple users to use the same frequency band simultaneously
without interference. GSM networks also support data services such as SMS messaging, packet
data, and internet access.

5.Spread spectrum

 Spread spectrum is a technique used for wireless communications in telecommunication and


radio communication. In this technique, the frequency of the transmitted signal, i.e., an
electrical signal, electromagnetic signal, or acoustic signal, is deliberately varied and
generates a much greater bandwidth than the signal would have if its frequency were not
varied.
 In other words, "Spread Spectrum is a technique in which the transmitted signals of specific
frequencies are varied slightly to obtain greater bandwidth as compared to initial bandwidth."
 Now, spread spectrum technology is widely used in radio signals transmission because it can
easily reduce noise and other signal issues.

6.DECT

Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) is one of the applications of computer


networks that come under wireless networks widely used for both domestic and business
purposes. It is designed for short-range which acts as an access method to major networks. Due
to the flexible nature of DECT, it becomes a widely used application around the globe

7.Role of satellite networks

The three major roles that a satellite in space exhibits are as follows:
 Access Network: Through an access network one can get access to the user terminals that are
present on the ground. Suppose if we consider telephone networks then in that case this access
network is associated with the connection that is formed between various private branch
exchanges of the telephone network. In order to access the satellite links, the user terminals are
connected to the satellite earth terminals.
 Transit Network: The connection between multiple networks or network switches is done via
transit network. This helps in handling large network traffic. In this case, users cannot access the
networks individually like in the previously discussed case of the access network. One of the best
examples of transit networks includes ISDN, B-SDN, etc.
 Broadcast Network: The previously discussed case is the basis for fulfilling the
telecommunications requirement however; the broadcast satellite network provides services to
multiple terminals simultaneously. Some examples of the same are digital audio and video
broadcast, etc. It facilitates delivering the data to the users in an efficient manner.

8.Multiplexing

 Multiplexing is a technique used in the area of electronics and signal processing. In mobile
computing, telecommunications and computer networks, Multiplexing is a method that can
be used to combine multiple analog or digital signals into one signal over a shared medium.
The main aim of using this method is to share a scarce resource.
 The main motive behind the development of Multiplexing is to provide simple and easy
communication, proper resource sharing and its utilization. This is the best way to utilize and
share a limited resource equally among multiple devices.
