OverviewGuided - wireUnguided - wirelessCharacteristics and quality determined by
medium and signalFor guided, the medium is more importantFor unguided, the bandwidth produced by
the antenna is more importantKey concerns are data rate and distance
3
Design FactorsBandwidth
Higher bandwidth gives higher data rate
Transmission impairments Attenuation
InterferenceNumber of receivers
In guided media More receivers (multi-point) introduce more
attenuation

Twisted Pair

Twisted Pair - ApplicationsMost common mediumTelephone network
Between house and local exchange (subscriber loop)
Within buildings To private branch exchange (PBX)
For local area networks (LAN) 10Mbps or 100Mbps
10
Twisted Pair - Pros and ConsCheapEasy to work withLow data rateShort range
11
Twisted Pair - Transmission CharacteristicsAnalog
Amplifiers every 5km to 6km
Digital Use either analog or digital signals repeater every 2km or 3km
Limited distanceLimited bandwidth (1MHz)Limited data rate (100MHz)Susceptible to interference and noise
12
Unshielded and Shielded TPUnshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Ordinary telephone wire Cheapest Easiest to install Suffers from external EM interference
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Metal braid or sheathing that reduces
interference More expensive Harder to handle (thick, heavy)
13
UTP CategoriesCat 3
up to 16MHz Voice grade found in most offices Twist length of 7.5 cm to 10 cm
Cat 4 up to 20 MHz
Cat 5 up to 100MHz Commonly pre-installed in new office buildings Twist length 0.6 cm to 0.85 cm
14
Near End CrosstalkCoupling of signal from one pair to
anotherCoupling takes place when transmit signal
entering the link couples back to receiving pair
i.e. near transmitted signal is picked up by near receiving pair

ApplicationsAsymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL)
The system uses existing twisted-pair lines to provide the higher bit rates.
It is asymmetric in that users can transmit upstream at the speeds from 64 kbps (10**3 bits per second) to 640 kbps and receive information at the speed from 1.536 Mbps (10**6 bps) to 6.144 Mbps.
