Inboduction to Digital Communicahdns
Why Digital Communicahans &
+ Prethy much most of the military ond Commeccial
applicahans are going “DIGITAL.
+ Reasons:
© The ease with which digital Signatc, Compared to analog
signals, are regenerated. (see the Figure below.)

= the shape of He original waveform (s affected by
tum basic mechanisms: © the distorhag effect
cue to the nonideal transfer funchtns of Hansmission
Lines and Circuitt; © unwanted electrical noise or
other interference further distorts tee pulse waveform.
= Circuits that recover and regenerate tht original
pulse at regular intewals along a -transmission
sys are called repeaters® Digital circuits are less subject to disterhan ond
intecferente than are analog Circuits, This is because
binary digital circuits operate ch one af tur states,
ov er OFE A disturbance must be la(ge enough
fo Change the Circuit operahng point fom one
state to another. This facilitates signal cegenerahtn
and thus prevents noise and other disturbances
from accumulahng ta transmission
@ Analeg signals, on the otter hand, can take an
icy of Shapes. With amalog Circuits, even a small
Sisturban& can fender the reproduchdn of the wavefaum.
@ Digital circuits ore moce eliable and can be prduted
at Iswer Cost than analog Circuits
® Digital hardware lends inelf to much more flexble
implementattn than analeg hardware , €-g-,
micmproussort, digital Switching , and large-scale
cntagrated CLST) Circuits
© Mest ungortantly, different types sf cligital signale
such as data, telegraph, telephone , dlevision Can
be treated as identical signals cn transmission
ond switching - obit
@ In additdn, digital techniques allow ublizing Signal
PRESSIng Hechniguo that pokect against interference
and jamming Such as encryphtn ond Channel codingDisadvantages of Digital Transmission
© Digital tansmissiBn typically requirer a greater System
bandwidth as Compared to amaleg transmissidn.
