2.1 The Theoretical Basis for Data Communication
Fourier Analysis: Any reasonably behaved periodic function, g(t) with period T, can be constructed as the sum of a number of sines and cosines.
The width of the frequency range transmitted without being strongly attenuated is called thebandwidth. Often, the quoted bandwidth is from 0 to the frequency at which the received power has fallen by half.
信噪比(S/N)
分贝(DB) = 10log10S/N
Max速率(b/s)= Hlog2(1+S/N)--Shannon 定理(有噪声信道)
2.2 Guided Transmission Media
2.2.2 Twisted Pairs (双绞线)
For twisted pairs, a signal is usually carried as the difference in voltage between the two wires in the pair.
Twisted pairs can be used for transmitting either analog or digital information.
Category 3/5/6 cables are referred to as UTP(Unshielded Twisted Pair)
2.2.3 Coaxial Cable(同轴电缆)
50-ohm cable is commonly used when it is intended for digital transmission
75-ohm cable is commonly used for analog transmission and cable television.
