 HISTORY OF INFORMATION SYSTEM

• 1837: Samuel Morse developed the electrical telegraph. This system used
dot and dash symbol to perform for the character.
 HISTORY OF INFORMATION SYSTEM

• 1866: The first transatlantic telegraph cable was successfully completed

• 1875: Emile Baudot developed the new code, Baudot code, using the
codeword which has fixed length = 5 to encode the character.
• 1876: The conventional telephone was patented by Alexander Bell
• 1897: Marconi began developing a wireless communication using the
then newly discovered phenomenon of radio waves.
• 1937: Alec Reeves developed PCM. Therefore, data is transmitted in
digital system not only the message but also other forms such as audio,..
• 1948: Shannon established the mathematical theory of communication.
He is known as "the father of information theory”.
• 1991: GSM was completed in EU.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
 CHARACTERISTICS
• Source: data is converted into binary bit 0/1 before
transmitting.
• Transmittor: transmit a carrier wave from a set of waves in
finite time
• Receiver: base on received signal (is changed over
transmission channel), receiver must identify the transmitted
wave -> expected data
• Quality: evaluated base on probability Pe, or BER (Bit Error
Rate). It depends on modulation method, encoding method,
power of transmittor, kind of channel,etc…
 CHARACTERISTICS

• Pros:

- Increase transmission capacity

- Reliability and low price

- Decrease the impact of noise
- More confidential
• Cons:

- Synchronization
- Bandwidth requirement
- Granted frequency
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

• Performance of a communication system:

Bandwidth
• Effectiveness:
Transmission rate

Signal to Noise ratio

(SNR)
• Reliability:
Bit/Symbol Error Rate

or Probability of Error
BASIC DEFINITIONS
 BASIC DEFINITIONS

• Information Transmission Rate:

Bits per second Rb(bps)

• Symbol Transmission Rate:

Symbols per second or Bauds RB (Bauds)
 BASIC DEFINITIONS
• Problem 1: If the information transmission rate of M-
aryPSK is 1500bps, M=8. Determine the symbol
transmission rate.
 BASIC DEFINITIONS
• Problem 1: If the information transmission rate of M-
aryPSK is 1500bps, M=8. Determine the symbol
transmission rate.
Solution:
RB =Rb/ log2 M
=1500/ log2 8=500 Bauds
 BASIC DEFINITIONS
• Problem 2: If the symbol transmission rate of QPSK
is 3000 Bauds. Determine the rate of the information
transmission.
 BASIC DEFINITIONS
• Problem 2: If the symbol transmission rate of QPSK is 3000
Bauds. Determine the rate of the information transmission.
Solution:
Rb= RB log2 M=3000 log2 4=6000 bps
 BASIC DEFINITIONS

• Bandwidth effectiveness:

ŋb =Rb / B (bps/Hz)
ŋB =RB / B (Bauds/Hz)

• Bit error rate (BER)
