Chapter 4 Transmission Media
ㅋ 너무졸릴땐 복습을ㅜㅜ
Transmission medium is the physical path between transmitter and receiver
전송매체는 transmitter과 receiver사이의 물리적인 통로이다.
• Guided media – guided along a solid medium // wired
• Unguided media – atmosphere, space, water // wireless
• Characteristics and quality of data transmission are determined by medium and signal
데이터전송의 특성은 전송매체와 signal에 의해 결정된다.
- For guided, the medium is more important in determining transmission characteristics
전송매체가 더 중요
- For unguided, the bandwidth of signal produced by the antenna is more important
unguided은 안테나에 의해 생성되는 시그널 대역폭이 더 중요하다.
- Signals at lower frequencies are omnidirectional
낮은주파수시그널은 전방향성
- Signals at higher frequencies are unidirectional
높은 주파수 시그널은 단방향성 , 신호가 깨끗함
• Key design concerns are data rate and distance
frequency: 주파수 signal이 반복되는 rate ( perse, HZ )
bandwidth: 대역폭,
Design Factors
• Bandwidth
-The greater bandwidth, the higher data rate
대역폭이 클수록 data rate가 높다
• Transmission impairments
- Attenuation, Attenuation distortion, delay distortion, noise
신호감쇄, 신호감쇄+왜곡 , 지연+왜곡 , 잡음
- Impairments limit the distance
손상이 데이터의 거리에 영향을 미친다
• Interference
- Interference from competing signals in overlapping frequency bands can distort or wipe out a signal
특정 대역이 서로 중첩돼서 시그널들이 경쟁함 -> 신호간의 방해가 생긴다. 왜곡 wipe out
• Number of receivers
- On a shared (multipoint) link, each attachment introduces some attenuation and distortion, limiting distance and/or data rate
shared (multipoint) link는 여러 장치들이 하나의 link를 공유할 수 있는데, 장치가 붙을때마다 신호감쇄와 왜곡이 일어날 수 있다. 이는 데이터전달거리와 data rate에 영향을 미칠 수 있음 이건 그냥 너무나 당연한 얘기
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Guided Transmission Media
• Twisted pair
• Coaxial cable
• Optical fiber
Transmission Characteristics of Guided Media
Delay
- Transmission Delay ()
- Propagation Delay( 전파지연시간 ) ( Tprop )
전파지연시간은 빛의속도 * 2/3 으로, 5 µs/km 인 상수값이다.
Twisted pair, Coaxial cable , Optical fiber 모두 대략 5 µs/km으로 동시에 도착하므로, 전송매체와는 상관없음.
Repeater Spacing 이 Optical fiber 쪽으로 갈수록 길어지는데 이것은 광섬유가 더 품질이 좋음을 의미한다.
Twisted Pair
• Twisted pair is the least expensive and most widely used guided transmission medium
• Consists of two insulated copper wires arranged in a regular spiral pattern; A wire pair acts as a single communication link 하나의 쌍이 연결하나를 의미함
• Pairs are bundled together into a cable
• Twisting and different twist length reduce crosstalk interference between adjacent pairs in a cable
• Typical twist length: 5 to 15 cm; Thickness of a wire: 0.4 to 0.9 mm
Twisted Pair - Applications
Twisted Pair는 보통 전화선에 쓰임
• The most common medium for both analog & digital signals
• Telephone network
between house and local exchange (subscriber loop)
• Within buildings
To private branch exchange (PBX) : 사설교환기, 분해교환기
For local area networks (LAN)
Typically 100 Mbps
Up to 10 Gbps
Twisted Pair - Pros and Cons
• Cheap
• Easy to work with
• Low performance
• Short range
Twisted Pair - Transmission Characteristics
• Analog transmission
- Amplifiers are required every 5 to 6 km
• Digital transmission
- Use either analog or digital signals
- Repeaters are required every 2 or 3 km
• Limited in distance, bandwidth and data rate
• Susceptible to interference and noise 4-11 Unshielded and Shielded TP
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Ordinary telephone wire
Cheapest
Easy to install and work with
Suffer from external electromagnetic interference • Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Metallic braid or sheathing that reduces interference Provides better performance at higher data rates More expensive Harder to handle (thick, heavy) Three configurations: FTP, F/UTP, S/FTP
