A-wireless communication aspects.

1-Modulation is the key 2-analog and digital transmission 3-bit rate 4-signal to noise ratio 5-jamming 6-interference 7-distortion 8-capacity

Base band signal

Features: -Low frequency range is occupied. -no modulation is done. -may be analog or digital.

Transmission medium
1- Twisted-pair: It is very low bandwidth and it is easily tapped either physically or by monitoring its electromagnetic radiation 2- Coaxial cable: It is greater bandwidth than twisted-pair but it is very expensive.
3- optical fibers: It is very high bandwidth , very high bit rate and inherently transmission medium.

Pass band transmission

Why wireless?

1- Long distance & less cost than wires. 2- mobility.

Why modulation?

Higher freq. lead to lower noise (no flicker !!!) 2. Antenna length proportional to wave length.
