DATA COMMUNICATIONS

  • Is the very simply, the collection & distribution of the electronic representation of information from & to remote facilities another by means of electrical transmission system likes telephone lines, satellites or coaxial cables.
  • The information can appear in a variety of formats, data, text, voice, pictures,, graphics & video.
  • Prior transmission, the raw information must be digitised.
  • There are 2 type of signal which are analogue signal & digital signal.
  1. Analogue signal - those used by conventional telephone systems, represent data with continuous waves.
    2. Digital signal - Which data is represented by only two discrete states 0s & 1s.
   *Analogue data that is to be sent using digital signal (such as analogue music broadcast by a digital radio station)
   *Digital data to be sent using analogue signal (such as computer data sent over a converted into analogue form before it can be transmitted)

there are some video that you can watch :)

Data Transmission

Data transmission has 2 types :
  • Parallel transmission - The message is sent at least one byte at a time, with each bit in the byte taking a separate path.
  • Serial transmission - Data is sent one bit at a time, one after the other along single path.      
There are 3 serial transmission modes which are Synchronous transmission, Asynchronous transmission & Isochronous transmission.
  1. Synchronous transmission - data is organized into group / blocks of data, which are transferred at regular, specified intervals.
  2. Asynchronous transmission - data is sent when it is ready to be sent, without being Synchronous transmission. To identify the bits that belong in each byte, a start bit & stop bit are used at the beginning & end of the byte.
  3. Isochronous transmission - data is sent at the same time as other related data to support certain types of real-time applications that require the different types of data to be delivered at a proper speed for that applications.

Data Flow / Data Move
  1. Simplex transmission - data travels in a single direction only (like doorbell). Relatively uncommon in data transmission because most devices that are mainly on-directional, e.g, printer.
  2. Half-Duplex transmission - data can travel in either direction, but only in one direction at a time, e.g, walkie-talkie.
  3. Full-Duplex transmission - data can move in both directions at the same time, e.g, telephone.
