Transmission medium and physical layer
Transmission media are actually located below the
physical layer and directly controlled by the physical layer.
Computer and other telecommunication devices use
signals to represent data. These signals are transmitted
from one device to another in the form of electromagnetic
energy, which is propagated through transmission media.
- 7.
McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-HillCompanies, Inc., 2004
Classes of Transmission Media
Guided media, which are those that provide a
conduit from one device to another. Signal
travelling along any of these media is directed and
contained by the physical limits of the medium.

Twisted-Pair Cable
One of the wires is used to carry signals to the receiver, and
the other is used only as a ground reference. The receiver
uses the difference between the two levels.
In addition to the signal sent by the sender on one of the
wires, interference (noise) and crosstalk may affect both wires
and create unwanted signals. The receiver at the end,
however, operates only on the difference between these
unwanted signals. This means that if the two wires are
affected by noise or crosstalk equally, the receiver is immune
(the difference is zero).
The number of twists per unit of length (e.g., inch) determines
the quality of the cable; more twists mean better quality.

UTP and STP
STP cable has a metal foil or braided-mesh covering
that encases each pair of insulated conductors.
Although metal casing improves the quality of cable
by preventing the penetration of noise or crosstalk, it
is bulkier and more expensive.

UTP connector
RJ45 (Registered Jack) is the most common UTP
connector.
RJ45 is a keyed connector, meaning the connector
can be inserted in only one way.
- 12.

Coaxial cable
Coaxial cable (or coax) carries signals of higher frequency
ranges than twisted-pair cable, in part because the two media
are constructed quite differently.
Coax has a central core conductor of solid or stranded wire
(usually copper) enclosed in an insulating sheath, which is, in
turn, encased in an outer conductor of metal foil, braid, or a
combination of the two.
The outer metallic wrapping serves both as a shield against
noise and as a second conductor, which completes the circuit.
This outer conductor is also enclosed in an insulating sheath,
and the whole cable is protected by a plastic cover.

BNC connectors
Bayone-Neill-Concelman Connectors
Three popular types are BNC connector, BNC T
connector, BNC Terminator.
BNC Connector is used to connect the end of the
cable to a device, such as a TV set. The BNC T
connector is used in Ethernet networks to branch
out a cable for connection to a computer or other
devices.

Bending of light ray
Fiber-optic cable is made of glass or plastic and
transmits signals in the form of light.
A glass or plastic core is surrounded by a cladding
of less dense glass or plastic. The difference in
density of the two materials must be such that a
beam of light moving through the core is
reflected off the cladding instead of being
refracted into it.
- 16.
McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-HillCompanies, Inc., 2004
Propagation modes
Multimode is so named because multiple beams from a
light source move through the core in different paths.
Multimode step-index fiber
Density of the core remains constant from the center to the
edges
Beam of light moves through this constant density in a straight
line until it reaches the interface of the core and the cladding.
At the interface, there is an abrupt change to a lower density
that alters the angle of the beam’s motion. The term step index
refers to the suddenness of this change.
- 17.
McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-HillCompanies, Inc., 2004
Modes
Multimode graded-index Fiber
The word index here refers to the index of refraction
that is related to density.
Single mode Fiber
Single mode uses step-index fiber and a highly
focused source of light that limits beams to a small
range of angles, all close to the horizontal.

Fiber construction
Outer jacket is made of either PVC or Teflon.
Inside the jacket are Kevlar strands to strengthen the cable.
Kevlar is a strong material used in the fabrication of
bulletproof vests.
Below the Kevlar is another plastic coating to cushion the
fiber. The fiber is at the center of the cable, and it consists of
cladding and core.

Fiber-optic cable connectors
Three different types of connectors
Subscriber channel (SC) connector is used in cable TV. It uses a
push/pull locking system.
Straight-tip (ST) connector is used for connecting cable to
networking devices. It uses a bayonet locking system and is
more reliable than SC.
MT-RJ is a new connector with the same size as RJ-45
Fiber optic has several advantages over metallic cable
Higher bandwidth, less signal attenuation, immunity to
electromagnetic interference, resistance to corrosive materials,
light weight, more immune to tapping.
Disadvantages: Installation/maintenance [need expertise],
Unidirectional [propagation of light is unidirectional], Cost.

Omnidirectional antennas
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves ranging in frequencies
between 3 KHz and 1 GHz and those between 1 and 300 GHz
are called Microwaves.
Radio waves
Omnidirectional; Propagate to long distances
Can penetrate walls and so no boundary.
Radio waves are used for multicast communications, such as
radio and television, and paging systems
- 26.
McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-HillCompanies, Inc., 2004
Unidirectional antennas
Microwaves are unidirectional.
Very high frequency microwave cannot penetrate walls.
Parabolic dish antenna
Every line parallel to the line of symmetry (line of sight) reflects off the curve at
angles such that all the lines intersect in a common point called the focus.
Horn antenna
Outgoing transmissions are broadcast up a stem (resembling a handle) and
deflected outward in a series of narrow parallel beams by the curved head.
Received transmissions are collected by the scooped shape of the horn, in a
manner similar to the parabolic dish, and are deflected down into the stem.
Microwaves are used for unicast communication such as cellular telephones,
satellite networks, and wireless LANs

Infrared Signals
300 GHz to 400 THz.
Infrared signals can be used for short-range communication
in a closed area using line-of-sight propagation
Cannot penetrate walls.
Some manufacturers provide a special port called the IrDA
port that allows a wireless keyboard to communicate with a
PC.
