1. Baseband vs. Broadband vs.

Passband Transmission

- **Baseband Transmission**
- **Definition**: Sends a digital signal directly over the medium without modulation.
- **Bandwidth**: Occupies the entire bandwidth of the channel.
- **Example**: Ethernet over twisted pair uses Manchester or NRZ coding.
- **Use Case**: Short-distance LANs.

- **Broadband Transmission**
- **Definition**: Transmits multiple channels by modulating them onto different carrier frequencies.
- **Bandwidth**: Uses a wide range of frequencies, subdivided into non■overlapping bands.
- **Example**: Cable TV delivers many TV channels on different RF carriers.
- **Use Case**: Cable Internet, CATV.

- **Passband Transmission**
- **Definition**: Converts a baseband (digital) signal to an analog passband signal by modulation (e.g., ASK, FSK, P
- **Bandwidth**: Centered around a nonzero carrier frequency.
- **Example**: Modems where digital data is modulated onto an analog telephone channel.
- **Use Case**: Long-distance telephony, wireless links.

2. Total Delay on a 1 Gbps, 2 000 km Fiber Link

- Packet size: 10 KB = 10 × 1024 B = 10 240 B = 81 920 bits


- Transmission delay
d_trans = 81,920 bits / (1×10^9 bps) = 0.0819 ms
- Propagation delay
d_prop = 2,000,000 m / (2×10^8 m/s) = 10 ms
- Total delay ≈ 10.0819 ms

3. Received Power after 10 dB Attenuation

- Transmitted power: 50 mW
- Attenuation: 10 dB (linear factor 0.1)
- Received power = 50 mW × 0.1 = 5 mW

4. Data Rate per Circuit in a Circuit-Switched Network

- Link bandwidth: 1 Gbps


- Number of circuits: 100
- Per-circuit rate = 1,000 Mbps / 100 = 10 Mbps

5. Multiplexing: Concept & Types

- **FDM (Frequency-Division)**: Each user occupies a distinct frequency band.


- **TDM (Time-Division)**: Users take turns in time slots on the same frequency.
- **WDM (Wavelength-Division)**: Optical analog of FDM using multiple light wavelengths.

6. Digital-to-Analog vs. Analog-to-Digital Encoding


- **Digital-to-Analog (D/A)**: Maps digital bits onto analog carrier changes.
- **Analog-to-Digital (A/D)**: Samples and quantizes analog signals into bits.

7. Polar NRZ-L and NRZ-I for `01001110`

- **NRZ-L waveform**: +V, –V, +V, +V, –V, –V, –V, +V


- **NRZ-I waveform**: +V, –V, –V, –V, +V, –V, +V, +V

8. Why PSK > ASK; Advantage of QAM

- PSK is more robust to amplitude noise.


- QAM offers higher spectral efficiency by encoding phase and amplitude.

9. Symbol Rate in 16-QAM at 64 Mbps

- Bits/symbol = 4
- Symbol rate = 64 Mbps / 4 = 16 Mbaud

10. Idle Time in TDM (100 Mbps, 5 Users × 10 Mbps)

- Occupancy = (5×10) / 100 = 0.5


- Idle fraction = 0.5 (50%)

11. Bandwidth for Synchronous TDM (8×2 Mbps)

- Aggregate = 8×2 = 16 Mbps


- Minimum ≈ 16 MHz

12. Total Data Rate in WDM Fiber (16×10 Gbps)

- 16×10 = 160 Gbps

13. Bit-Stuffed Sequence (Flag = 01111110)

- Final transmitted bits: 01111100001111101011111010

14. Error in Character-Count Framing

- Corrupt count byte causes framing and data corruption.
