Lecture 2: Basics of communications
⌘ Principles of radio communication
- radio wave propagation
- Electromagnetic signals
- Nyquist Theorem
- Signal/noise ratio
- Shannon Theorem
- Signal strength
⌘ What will we learn today
- basics of radio communication
- sampling theorem
- typical radio transmission
- what effects the signal strengths
⌘ Heinrich Hertz - Radiowave propagation
Basics of wave propagation:
- The variation of an electrical field creates a magnetic field
- The variation of a magnetic field creates an electrical field
⌘ Electromagnetic channel
The radio channel is always affected by noise, which restricts the information flow to the receiver
[Source:Neelakanta et. al., Fig1.2]
⌘ Sources of noise
- Electronic parts of transmitter and receiver (components)
- Spurious electromagnetics (lines radiating on the chip)
- Fluctuations in power (switching CMOS circuits)
Radio
- In-band interference
- out-of band interference, e.g. GSM/NMT interference
- radio channel, e.g. scattering, multi-path
[Source:Wikipedia, "interference"]
Figure: Noise floor in a receiver
- further explanations: Telektronikk 4/95, Rækken and Løvnes, Multipath propagation
Comments
- in-band: a source having the same signal
- out-of-band: modulations/filters which are not perfect

explain Fourier-transform and overlap
The capacity of a system consists of both the cell capacity (depending mainly on OSI layer 1-3) and on network design, meaning: how much interference do I get from other cells.
In a network where the available 60 MHz in the UMTS band are distributed to 6 operators, each operator will only have 2x 10 MHz available for operation, which typically means that one frequency block (5MHz) will be used for micro-cells and the other frequency block (5 Unik/MHz) will be used for macro-cells.
The amount of interference will depend on
- the filter characteristics of the handset ( check separation)
- the distance from the transmitter
- the transmit power
Receiver sensitivity might play a role, but is considered as being constant in the selected frequency band.
see also: Media:UMTS9902Planning.ppt
802.11b has only three non-overlapping channels, ch 1, 6, and 11. In a normal business building radio waves will propagate not only along one floor, but also through the roof/floor. The visibility of WLAN will make it necessary to plan the frequencies in order to support the person on the ground floor with wireless access.
In UMTS coverage and capacity can be adopted not only through the power level of the transmitting unit, but also through the selection of codes. If the same code or code-class is selected in neighbouring cells, a simulaneous connection to the mobile phone can be achieved. This will increase the coverage (why?) but decrease the total capacity of the system (why?)
⌘ Electromagnetic signals
- Prerequisite: Ohm's law, current, dielectric constant , conductivity
- "Pappa, what is voltage?"
- Alternating electric and magnetic field
- Direction of wave from "right-hand rule"

⌘ Maxwell's Equation in a source free environment
Source free environment and free space:
where div is a scalar function
and curl is a vector function

⌘ Boundary conditions
- What is happening on electrical walls, magnetic walls?
Scattering, reflection and diffraction (explain differences) are the three major components in wave propagation. Ideal reflection environments are characterised through
⌘ Nyquist Theorem
- Shannon: If a function contains no frequencies higher than [cycles/s], it is completely determinded by giving its ordinates at serires of points spaced seconds apart
- band-limitation versus time-limitation
- Fourier transform

⌘ Signal/noise ratio
