Chapter 2 The Physical Layer

1

The lowest layer of reference model. It defines the mechanical, electrical, and timing interfaces to the network.

BANDWIDTH AND INFORMATION CAPACITY

Bandwidth is the span of frequencies within the spectrum occupied by a signal and used by the signal for conveying information.

Carrying information requires bandwidth.

NOISELESS CHANNEL: NYQUIST BIT RATE

L is the number of signal levels used to represent data.

Increasing the levels of a signal may reduce the reliability of the system.

bandwidthCapacity

where capacity is in bits/second, bandwidth is in hertz, and signal and noise powers are measured in the same physical units, such as watts. Bits are fundamental units of information.

The theoretical highest data rate for a noisy channel

USING BOTH LIMITS

The Shannon capacity gives us the upper limit;

the Nyquist formula tells us how many signal levels we need.

Transition in middle of each bit periodTransition serves as clock and dataLow to high represents oneHigh to low represents zeroUsed by IEEE 802.3

Differential ManchesterMid-bit transition is clocking onlyTransition at start of a bit period represents zeroNo transition at start of a bit period represents oneNote: this is a differential encoding schemeUsed by IEEE 802.5
