1-1 INTRODUCTION
This book provides an introduction to all relevant aspects of communications systems.
These systems had their beginning with the discovery of various electrical,
magnetic,and electrostatic phenomena prior to the twentieth century.Starting with
Samuel Morse''s invention of the telegraph in 1837,a truly remarkable rate of
progress has occurred.The telephone,thanks to Alexander Graham Bell,came
along in 1876.The first complete system of wireless communication was provided
by Guglielmo Marconi in 1894.Lee DeForest''s invention of the triode vacuum tube
in 1908 allowed the first form of practical electronic amplification and really
opened the door to wireless communication.In 1948 another major discovery in the
history of electronics occurred with the development of the transistor by Shockley,
Brattain,and Bardeen.The more recent developments,such as integrated circuits,
very large-scale integration,and computers on a single silicon chip,are probably familiar
to you.
The rapid transfer of these developments into practical communications systems
linking the entire globe and now into outer space has stimulated a bursting
growth of complex social and economic activities.This growth has subsequently
had a snowballing effect on the growth of the communication industry
with no end in sight for the foreseeable future.Some people refer to this as the
age of communications.
The function of a communication system is to transfer information from one
point to another via some communication link.The very first form of "information"
electrically transferred was the human voice in the form of a code i.e.,the
Morse code,which was then converted back to words at the receiving site.People
had a natural desire and need to communicate rapidly between distant points on
the earth,and that was the major concern of these developments.As that goal became
a reality,and with the evolution of new technology following the invention
of the triode vacuum tube,new and less basic applications were also realized,such
as entertainment radio and television,radar,and telemetry.The field of communications
is still a highly dynamic one,with advancing technology constantly making
new equipment possible or allowing improvement of the old systems.
Communications was the basic origin of the electronics field,and no other major
branch of electronics developed until the transistor made modern digital computers
a reality.
Modulation
Basic to the field of communications is the concept of modulation.Modulation is
the process of putting information onto a high-frequency carrier for transmission.In
essence,then,the transmission takes place at the high frequency the carrier which
has been modified to "carry" the lower-frequency information.The low-frequency
information is often called the intelligence signal or,simply,the intelligence.It follows
that once this information is received,the intelligence must be removed from
the high-frequency carrier―a process known as demodulation.At this point you
may be thinking,why bother to go through this modulationdemodulation process?
Why not just transmit the information directly? The problem is that the frequency of
the human voice ranges from about 20 to 3000 Hz.If everyone transmitted those frequencies
directly as radio waves,interference would cause them all to be ineffective.
Another limitation of equal importance is the virtual impossibility of transmitting
such low frequencies since the required antennas for efficient propagation would be
miles in length.
The solution is modulation,which allows propagation of the low-frequency
intelligence with a high-frequency carrier.The high-frequency carriers are chosen
such that only one transmitter in an area operates at the same frequency to
minimize interference,and that frequency is high enough so that efficient
antenna sizes are manageable.There are three basic methods of putting lowfrequency
information onto a higher frequency.Equation 1-1 is the mathematical
representation of a sine wave,which we shall assume to be the highfrequency
carrier.

peak value
Any one of the last three terms could be varied in accordance with the low-frequency
information signal to produce a modulated signal that contains the intelligence.If
the amplitude term,,is the parameter varied,it is called amplitude modulation
AM.If the frequency is varied,it is frequency modulation FM.Varying the phase
angle,,results in phase modulation PM.In subsequent chapters we shall study
these systems in detail.
Communications Systems
Communications systems are often categorized by the frequency of the carrier.
Table 1-1 provides the names for various frequency ranges in the radio spectrum.
The extra-high-frequency range begins at the starting point of infrared frequencies,
but the infrareds extend considerably beyond 300 GHz Hz.After the
infrareds in the electromagnetic spectrum of which the radio waves are a very
small portion come light waves,ultraviolet rays,X rays,gamma rays,and cosmic
rays.

Figure 1-1 represents a simple communication system in block diagram form.
Notice that the modulated stage accepts two inputs,the carrier and the information intelligence
signal.It produces the modulated signal,which is subsequently amplified
before transmission.Transmission of the modulated signal can take place by any one
of four means: antennas,waveguides,optical fibers,or transmission lines.These four
modes of propagation will be studied in subsequent chapters.The receiving unit of the
system picks up the transmitted signal but must reamplify it to compensate for attenuation
that occurred during transmission.Once suitably amplified,it is fed to the demodulator
often referred to as the detector,where the information signal is extracted
from the high-frequency carrier.The demodulated signal intelligence is then fed to
the amplifier and raised to a level enabling it to drive a speaker or any other output
transducer.A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Many of the performance measurements in communication systems are specified
in dB decibels.Section 1-2 introduces the use of this very important concept
in communication systems.This is followed by two basic limitations on the performance
of a communications systems: 1 electrical noise and 2 the bandwidth
of frequencies allocated for the transmitted signal.Sections 1-3 to 1-6 are devoted
to these topics because of their extreme importance.
1-2 THE dB IN COMMUNICATIONS
Decibels dBs are used to specify measured and calculated values in noise analysis,
audio systems,microwave system gain calculations,satellite system link-budget
analysis,antenna power gain,light-budget calculations,and many other communications
system measurements.In each case,the dB value is calculated with respect to a
standard or specified reference.
The dB value is calculated by taking the log of the ratio of the measured or
calculated power with respect to a reference power level.This result is
then multiplied by 10 to obtain the value in dB.The formula for calculating the dB
value of two ratios is shown in Equation 1-2.Equation 1-2 is commonly referred
to as the power ratio form for dB.
1-2
By using the power relationship ,the relationship shown in Equation 1-3
is obtained:
Let:
1-3
Note that we have assumed that the resistances and are equivalent; therefore,
these terms can be ignored in the dB power equation.This is a reasonable assumption
in most communication systems since maximum power transfer a desirable
characteristic is obtained when the input and output impedances are matched.
Equation 1-3 can be modified using a property of logarithms to provide a relationship
for decibels in terms of the voltage ratios instead of power ratios.This is
called the voltage gain equation and is shown in Equation 1-4.
1-4
Applying the dB Value
The dB unit is often used in specifying input- and output-signal-level requirements
for many communication systems.When making dB measurements,a reference
level is specified or implied for that particular application.An example is found in
audio consoles in broadcast systems,where a 0-dBm input level is usually specified
as the required input- and output-audio level for 100% modulation.Notice that a
lowercase m has been attached to the dB unit.This indicates that the specified dB
level is relative to a 1-mW reference.
In standard audio systems 0 dBm is defined as 0.001 W measured with
respect to a load termination of .600 600- balanced audio line is the
