1. Analog Communication ─ Introduction
The word communication arises from the Latin word commūnicāre, which means “to
share”. Communication is the basic step for exchange of information.
For example, a baby in a cradle, communicates with a cry when she needs her mother. A
cow moos loudly when it is in danger. A person communicates with the help of a language.
Communication is the bridge to share.
Communication can be defined as the process of exchange of information through means
such as words, actions, signs, etc., between two or more individuals.
PartsofaCommunicationSystem
Any system, which provides communication consists of the three important and basic parts
as shown in the following figure.
 Sender is the person who sends a message. It could be a transmitting station from
where the signal is transmitted.
 Channel is the medium through which the message signals travel to reach the
destination.
 Receiver is the person who receives the message. It could be a receiving station
where the transmitted signal is being received.
TypesofSignals
Conveying an information by some means such as gestures, sounds, actions, etc., can be
termed as signaling. Hence, a signal can be a source of energy which transmits some
information. This signal helps to establish a communication between the sender and the
receiver.
An electrical impulse or an electromagnetic wave which travels a distance to convey a
message, can be termed as a signal in communication systems.
Depending on their characteristics, signals are mainly classified into two types: Analog and
Digital. Analog and Digital signals are further classified, as shown in the following figure.
1
Analog Communication
AnalogSignal
A continuous time varying signal, which represents a time varying quantity can be termed
as an Analog Signal. This signal keeps on varying with respect to time, according to the
instantaneous values of the quantity, which represents it.
Example
Let us consider a tap that fills a tank of 100 liters capacity in an hour (6 AM to 7 AM). The
portion of filling the tank is varied by the varying time. Which means, after 15 minutes
(6:15 AM) the quarter portion of the tank gets filled, whereas at 6:45 AM, 3/4th of the tank
is filled.
If we try to plot the varying portions of water in the tank according to the varying time, it
would look like the following figure.
2
Analog Communication
As the result shown in this image varies (increases) according to time, this time varying
quantity can be understood as Analog quantity. The signal which represents this condition
with an inclined line in the figure, is an Analog Signal. The communication based on
analog signals and analog values is called as Analog Communication.
DigitalSignal
A signal which is discrete in nature or which is non-continuous in form can be termed as a
Digital signal. This signal has individual values, denoted separately, which are not based
on the previous values, as if they are derived at that particular instant of time.
Example
Let us consider a classroom having 20 students. If their attendance in a week is plotted,
it would look like the following figure.
In this figure, the values are stated separately. For instance, the attendance of the class
on Wednesday is 20 whereas on Saturday is 15. These values can be considered
individually and separately or discretely, hence they are called as discrete values.
The binary digits which has only 1s and 0s are mostly termed as digital values. Hence,
the signals which represent 1s and 0s
communication based on digital signals
Communication.
are also called as
and digital values
digital signals. The
is called as Digital
PeriodicSignal
Any analog or digital signal, that repeats its pattern over a period of time, is called as a
Periodic Signal. This signal has its pattern continued repeatedly and is easy to be
assumed or to be calculated.
Analog Communication
Example
If we consider a machinery in an industry, the process that takes place one after the other
is a continuous procedure. For example, procuring and grading the raw material,
processing the material in batches, packing a load of products one after the other, etc.,
follows a certain procedure repeatedly.
Such a process whether considered analog or digital, can be graphically represented as
follows.
AperiodicSignal
Any analog or digital signal, that doesn’t repeat its pattern over a period of time is called
as Aperiodic Signal. This signal has its pattern continued but the pattern is not repeated.
It is also not so easy to be assumed or to be calculated.
Example
The daily routine of a person, if considered, consists of various types of work which take
different time intervals for different tasks. The time interval or the work doesn’t
continuously repeat. For example, a person will not continuously brush his teeth from
morning to night, that too with the same time period.
Such a process whether considered analog or digital, can be graphically represented as
follows.
4
Analog Communication
In general, the signals which are used in communication systems are analog in nature,
which are transmitted in analog or converted to digital and then transmitted, depending
upon the requirement.
5
2. AnalogCommunication─Modulation
For a signal to be transmitted to a distance, without the effect of any external interferences
or noise addition and without getting faded away, it has to undergo a process called as
Modulation. It improves the strength of the signal without disturbing the parameters of
the original signal.
WhatisModulation?
A message carrying a signal has to get transmitted over a distance and for it to establish
a reliable communication, it needs to take the help of a high frequency signal which should
not affect the original characteristics of the message signal.
The characteristics of the message signal, if changed, the message contained in it also
alters. Hence, it is a must to take care of the message signal. A high frequency signal can
travel up to a longer distance, without getting affected by external disturbances. We take
the help of such high frequency signal which is called as a carrier signal to transmit our
message signal. Such a process is simply called as Modulation.
Modulation is the process of changing the parameters of the carrier signal, in accordance
with the instantaneous values of the modulating signal.
Need for Modulation
Baseband signals are incompatible for direct transmission. For such a signal, to travel
longer distances, its strength has to be increased by modulating with a high frequency
carrier wave, which doesn’t affect the parameters of the modulating signal.
AdvantagesofModulation
The antenna used for transmission, had to be very large, if modulation was not introduced.
The range of communication gets limited as the wave cannot travel a distance without
getting distorted.
Following are some of the advantages for implementing modulation in the communication
systems.
 Reduction of antenna size
 No signal mixing
 Increased communication range
 Multiplexing of signals
 Possibility of bandwidth adjustments
 Improved reception quality

A message carrying a signal has to get transmitted over a distance and for it to establish a reliable communication, it needs to take the help of a high frequency signal which should not affect the original characteristics of the message signal. The characteristics of the message signal, if changed, the message contained in it also alters. Hence, it is a must to take care of the message signal. A high frequency signal can travel up to a longer distance, without getting affected by external disturbances. We take the help of such high frequency signal which is called as a carrier signal to transmit our message signal. Such a process is simply called as Modulation. Modulation is the process of changing the parameters of the carrier signal, in accordance with the instantaneous values of the modulating signal. Need for Modulation Baseband signals are incompatible for direct transmission. For such a signal, to travel longer distances, its strength has to be increased by modulating with a high frequency carrier wave, which doesn’t affect the parameters of the modulating signal. AdvantagesofModulation The antenna used for transmission, had to be very large, if modulation was not introduced. The range of communication gets limited as the wave cannot travel a distance without getting distorted. Following are some of the advantages for implementing modulation in the communication systems.  Reduction of antenna size  No signal mixing  Increased communication range  Multiplexing of signals  Possibility of bandwidth adjustments  Improved reception quality
