Digital transmission is the transmission of digital signalsbetween two or more points in a communications system.
The original source information may be in digital form whichcould be binary or any other form of discrete-level digital pulses,or it could be analog signals that have been converted to digitalpulses prior to transmission and converted back to analogsignals in the receiver.
Digital transmission systems use both metallic and optical fibercables for their transmission medium. Digital pulses cannot bepropagated through a wireless transmission system such asEarths atmosphere or free space (vacuum).
Today, digital transmission systems are used to carry not onlydigitally encoded voice and video signals but also digital sourceinformation directly between computers and computer networks.

1. Noise immunity
2. Inherently less susceptible to interference because it is not necessary to
evaluate the precise amplitude, frequency or phase to ascertain its logiccondition.
3. Better suited for processing and combining using a technique calledmultiplexing.

1. The transmission of digitally encoded analog signals requires
significantly more bandwidth than simply transmitting theoriginal analog signal.
2. Bandwidth is one of the most important aspects of anycommunications system because it is costly and limited.
3. Analog signals must be converted to digital pulsestransmission and converted back.
4. Requires precise time synchronization between the clocks in
the transmission and receivers
5. Incompatible with older analog transmission systems

Information capacity refer to Hartleys Law (Already covered in Chapter 1).
Binary digit or bits: the most basic digital symbol used to represent information.
Bit rate is simply the number of bits transmitted during one second and is
expressed in bits per second (bps).
Bit rate refers to the rate of the change of a digital information signal, which is
usually binary.

M-ary is a term derived from the word binary.
M represents a digit that corresponds to the number of conditions, levels
and combinations possible for a given number of binary variables.
The number of bits necessary to produce a given number of conditions isexpressed mathematically as:
N = log2 M
where N = number of bits necessary
M = number of conditions, levels, or combinations possible with N bits.
Simplified: 2N = M

Nyquist bandwidth defines as the minimum theoretical bandwidthnecessary to propagate a signal . Nyquist bandwidth also sometimes known
as minimum Nyquist frequency.
Binary digital signals can be propagated through an ideal noiseless
transmission medium at a rate equal to two times the bandwidth of the
medium.
fb = 2 B where fb = bit rate in bps,
B = ideal Nyquist bandwidth.
The actual bandwidth necessary to propagate a given bit rate depends on
several factors which is type of encoding, system noise, types of modulation
used, desired error performance and the types of filter used.

There are several digital modulation techniques used to modulate
digital signal or data, depending on the applications, the rate oftransmission required, allocated bandwidth and cost.
By referring to the equation above, if the information signal is digitaland the amplitude (V) of the carrier is varied proportional to theinformation signal ASK is produced.
If the information signal is digital and the frequency (f) of the carrier isvaried proportional to the information signal FSK is produced.
If the information signal is digital and the phase () of the carrier isvaried proportional to the information signal PSK is produced.
If the information signal is digital and both the amplitude (V) and thephase () of the carrier is varied proportional to the information signalQAM is produced.
ASK, FSK, PSK and QAM are all forms ofdigital modulation.

The simplest digital modulation technique is amplitude shift keying
(ASK), where a binary information signal directly modulates theamplitude of an analog carrier.
In ASK, a carrier wave is switched ON and OFF by the input data orbinary signals. During a mark (binary 1), a carrier wave is
transmitted and during a space (Binary 0), the carrier issuppressed. Hence, it also known as ON- OFF keying (OOK).
Mathematically, amplitude- shift keying is
Where:
(ask)(t) = amplitude- shift keying wave
m(t) = digital information (modulating) signals (volts)
A/2 = unmodulated carrier amplitude (volts)

Frequency shift keying (FSK) is another relatively simple, low-
performance type of digital modulation.
FSK is a form of constant-amplitude angle modulation similar to
standard frequency modulation (FM) except the modulating signal is a
binary signal that varies between two discrete voltage levels rather than
a continuously changing analog waveform.
The general expression for FSK is:
fsk(t) = ccos { 2 [ fc + m(t)f ] }
Where fsk(t) = binary FSK waveform
vc = peak analog carrier amplitude (volts)
fc = analog carrier center frequency (volts)
f = peak change (shift) in the analog carrier frequency (hertz)
m(t) = binary input (modulating) signal (volts)

From the general equation of FSK, it can be seen that the peak shift in thecarrier frequency (f ) is proportional to the amplitude of binary input signal
Vm(t), and the direction of the shift is determined by the polarity.
The modulating signal is a normalized binary waveform where a
logic 1= +1V and logic 0 = -1V.
Hence, for logic 1 ormark input :
fsk(t) = Vccos [ 2 ( fc + f )]
For logic 0 orspace input :
fsk(t) = Vccos [ 2 ( fc - f )]
The mark frequency is the higher frequency ( fc + f) and the spacefrequency is the lower frequency ( fc - f ).

The simplest form of PSK is binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), where N=1 and
M=2. Binary system encodes single bits and produces two output conditions
possible. One output represents a logic 1, and the other output represents a logic 0.
As the input digital signal changes state (ie, from a 1 to a 0 or from 0 to 1), the
phase will switch normally 0 to 180.
16
2N = M
If N=2, M=4 (4 possible combinations, known as Quarternary PSK (QPSK) orQuadrature PSK). Bits are combined into groups of two bits called dibits.
If N=3, M=8 (8 possible combinations, known as 8-PSK).
Bits are combined into groups of three bits called tribits.
If N=4, M=16 (16 possible combinations, known as 16-PSK).Bits are combined into groups of four bits called quadbits.

Pulse modulation is a process of sampling analog information signalsand then converting those samples into discrete pulses and
transporting the pulses from a source to a destination over a physical
transmission medium.
Pulse modulation is divided broadly into two categories which is
Analog Pulse Modulation (APM) and Digital Pulse Modulation(DPM).
Analog information such as continuous speech or digital data can be
transmitted using pulse modulation technique. However, for a
continuous waveform, it is first converted into pulses by the process ofsampling.

Sampling is the process of taking a periodic sample of the continuouswaveform to be transmitted. If sufficient samples are sent, the waveformcan be reconstructed at the receiver.
The Nyquist sampling theorem is used to determine minimum samplingrate for any signal so that the signal will be correctly restored at thereceiver.
Nyquist sampling theorem states that;
The original information signal can be reconstructed at the receiver withminimal distortion if the sampling rate in the pulse modulation system is equalto or greater than twice the maximum information signal frequency.
That is, sampling frequency , fs 2 fm(max)
where fs = sampling frequency
fm(max) = maximum frequency of the modulating signal
The minimum sampling frequency , fs = 2 fm(max)
Figure shows the frequency spectrum of a
modulating waveform such as a voice signal.

The 3 basic conditions of sampling process are:
1. Sampling at fs = 2 fm(max)
- When the modulating signal is sampled at a minimum sampling frequency, the frequency spectrum is
shown as figure below.
2. Sampling at fs > 2 fm(max)
- This sampling rate creates a guard band between fm(max) and the lowest frequency component
(fs - fm(max) ) of the sampling harmonics.
3. Sampling at fs < 2 fm(max)
- When the sampling rate is less than the minimum value, distortion will occurs. This distortion is called
aliasing or folded over distortion.

In APM, the carrier is in the form of pulse modulation and the
modulated signal is where one of the characteristics (eitheramplitude, width or position) is changed according to the modulatingsignal.
The predominant methods of APM are Pulse width modulation(PWM), Pulse position modulation (PPM) and Pulse amplitudemodulation (PAM).
1. Pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)-PAM is the simplest form of pulse modulation. It is very similar toamplitude modulation (AM).
- With PAM, the amplitude of a constant-width and constant positionpulse is varied according to the amplitude of the sample of the analog
signal.- PAM is not generally used for a complete system but is largelyemployed as an intermediate form of modulation with PSK, QAM and
PCM.

2. Pulse width modulation (PWM)
-PWM also is called as pulse duration modulation (PDM) or pulseslength modulation (PLM). PWM refer to the technique of varying thewidth of the constant-amplitude pulse proportional to the amplitudeof the modulating signal.
- PWM gives a better signal to noise performance than PAM. PWMhas a disadvantage, when compared to PPM, that is its pulses are ofvarying width and therefore of varying power content.
3. Pulse position modulation (PPM)
-PPM is when the position of a constant-width and constant-amplitude pulse within prescribed time slot is varied according to theamplitude of the modulating signal.
-With PPM, the higher the amplitude of the sample, the farther to theright the pulse is positioned within a prescribed time slot.
- PWM and PPM are seldom used for commercial system. There are
used in special-purpose communication systems such as military
communication systems.

Digital modulation is the process by which digital symbols aretransformed into waveforms that are compatible with the characteristicsof the channel. In digital modulation code (DPM), a code is used torepresent the amplitude of the samples that has been divided intovarious levels.
Advantages of digital system:
1. It is relatively immune to channel noise and interference.
2. Signals and messages can be coded for error detection and correction.3. It is easier and more efficient to multiplex several digital signals.
4. It can carry a combination of traffics (telephone signals, data, codedvideo) if the medium has enough capacity.
5. More economical.
Disadvantages of digital system:1. The disadvantages of digital system compared to analog system is the
large bandwidth requirement. However, it is no longer a serious problembecause of the advent of large-bandwidth fiber optic systems.

Pulse code modulation (PCM)
-PCM is a digitally encoded modulation technique that commonly use fordigital transmission.
-With PCM, a group of coded pulses are used to represent the analogsignal. The analog signal is sampled and converted to a fixed-lengthserial binary number for transmission.
- PCM is the preferred method of communications because with PCM, itis easy to combine digitized voice and digital data into a single, highspeed digital signal and propagate it over either metallic or optical fibercables

PCM transmission system
(i) BPF limit the freq of analog input signal to standard voice band freq (300 to 3400Hz)
(ii) Sample and hold samples the input and converts those samples to a multilevel PAM signal
(iii) ADC converts the PAM samples to parallel PCM codes which are converted to serial binary data
in the parallel to serial converter ( serial digital pulses eg 10110001010)(iv) In the Rx, the serial to parallel converter converts serial pulses received from transmission line to
parallel PCM codes. The DAC converts the parallel PCM codes to multilevel PAM signals.
(v) The hold circuit is basically a low pas filter that converts the PAM signals back to its original
analog form. -A clock ( an oscillator circuit that outputs timing Pulses) is set to the
sampling frequency
-The sample command must be accurately clocked- cant have varying
sample times. Must be controlled by a clock designed with a highly
accurate crystal oscillator.

Three main processes in PCM transmission are sampling, quantization
and coding.
1. Sampling
- It is a process of taking samples of information signal at a rate of
Nyquists sampling frequency.
2. Quantization
- Quantization is a process of assigning the analog signal samples to
a pre-determined discrete levels.
3. Encoding
- This is the process where each quantized sample is digitally encodedinto n-bits codeword, where;
n = log2 L where n = number of bits/sample
L = number of quantization levels
or L = 2n

Quantization is a process of assigning the analog samples to a pre-
determined discrete levels.
It also a process of rounding off the amplitude of flat-top samples to amanageable number of level.
The number of quantization level, L, depends on the number of bits persample, n, used to code the signal where;
L = 2n
The magnitude of the minimum stepsize of the quantization levels iscalled resolution, V. It is equal in magnitude to the voltage of the leastsignificant bit or the magnitude of the minimum stepsize of the digital toanalog converter (DAC).
The resolution, V depends on the maximum and minimum voltage ofthe information signal, where;
V =

Quantization errororquantization noise is the distortion introducedduring the quantization process when the modulating signal is not an
exact value of the quantized level.
Maximum quantization errorQe(max) = +
Quantization error can be reduced by increasing the number ofquantization levels, but this will increase the bandwidth required.
Quantization interval or quantum is the magnitude difference betweenadjacent step.The smaller the magnitude of a quantum, the better(smaller) the resolution and the more accurately the quantized signalwill resemble the original analog sample.
- the magnitude of a quantum is also called resolution.

Transmission bit rate, R
- is the rate of information transmission (bit/s). It is depends on the
sampling frequency and the number of bit per sample used to encode
the signal.
Transmission bandwidth (TB) is equal to the transmission bit rate, but
the unit is hertz.

PCM Line Speed
Line speed is a data rate at which serial PCM bits are clockedout of the PCM encoder into a transmission line.
Where,
Line speed = the transmission rate in bits per second
Samples/second = sample rate (fs)
Bit/sample = number of bits in the compressed PCM code.
