The basic building block fortransmission is the telephone
channel or voice channel.The nominal voice channel occupies the band from0 to 4 kHz.
CCITT defines the voice channel as the band of
frequencies between 300 and 3400
Hz.Bell Laboratories states that the optimum trade-offbetween economics and quality transmission occurswhen the telephone speech signal is band-limited tothe range from about
200 to 3200 Hz.

THE THREE BASIC IMPAIRMENTS TOVOICE CHANNEL TRANSMISSION
AttenuationDistortion
It is the result of imperfect amplitude-frequencyresponse.
Attenuation distortion can be avoided if all
frequencies within the passband are subjected toexactly the same loss (or gain)
On loaded wire-pair systems, higher frequenciesare attenuated more than lower ones.
Attenuation distortion across the voice channel ismeasured against a reference frequency.
800 Hz as a reference, which is universally used in Europe,Africa, and parts of Hispanic America.
1000 Hz is the common reference frequency in North America

Attenuation increases as theband edges are approached.
European requirement may state thatbetween 600 Hz and 2800 Hz the levelwill vary no more than 1 to +2 dB.
where the plus sign means more lossand the minus sign means less loss.

DecibelUnits
Attenuation(reduction) of the signal strength arises fromvarious loss mechanisms in a transmission medium.For example:
Electric power is lost through heat generationas an electric signal flows along a wire.
To compensate for these energy losses, amplifiers are usedperiodically along a channel to boost the signal level, as shownin next slide.
A standard and convenient method for measuring attenuation
through a link or a device is to reference the output signallevel to the input level.

DecibelUnits
For guided media :
The signal strength normally decays
exponentially.
For convenience it is designated in
logarithmic power ratio measured in decibels
(dB).The dB unit is defined by
Power ratio in dB = 10 log(P2/P1)

Q1: After traveling a certain distancein some transmission medium, thepower of a signal is reduced to half atpoint 2,
that is P2= 0.5P1.
what is the attenuation or loss of powerat point 2?
Q2: Consider the transmission path from point 1 to point 4 shown infig below. Here the signal attenuated by 9 dB between point 1 and 2.After getting a 14 dB boost from an amplifier at point 3, it is againattenuated by 3 dB between points 3 and 4.what is the dB level atpoint 4?

PhaseDistortion
A voice channel may be regarded as a band-pass filter.
The velocity of propagation also tends to varywith frequency because of the electrical
characteristics associated with the network.
Considering the voice channel, therefore, thevelocity of propagation tends to increasetoward band center and decrease toward bandedge.
Propagation time is different fordifferent frequencies.

Absolute delay is minimum around 1700 and 1800 Hz inthe voice channel.Around 1700 or 1800 Hz, envelope delay distortion isflattest. It is for this reason that so many data modems use
1700 or 1800 Hz for the characteristic tone frequency whichis modulated by the data.

A modulated signal will not be distorted onpassing through the channel if the phase shift
changes uniformly with frequency.whereas if the phase shift is nonlinear withrespect to frequency, the output signal isdistorted compared to the input.
This phase distortion is often measured by aparameter called envelope delay distortion
(EDD).The maximum difference in the derivative over anyfrequency interval is called envelope delay distortion.

Any undesired signal in acommunication circuitIt is the major limiting factor in systemperformance.

NoiseThermalNoise
Thermal noise occurs in all transmissionmedia and all communication equipment,including passive devices.It arises from random electron motion and ischaracterized by a uniform distribution of
energy over the frequency spectrum with aGaussian distribution of levels.
Thermal noise is directly proportional tobandwidth and temperature.
Thermal noise is the factor that sets the lowerlimit of sensitivity of a receiving system

NoiseIntermodulationNoise.
Intermodulation (IM) noise is the result of thepresence of intermodulation products
If two signals with frequencies F1 and F2 arepassed through a nonlinear device or medium, the
result will contain IMproducts that are spurious frequency energycomponents.Intermodulation noise may result from anumber of causes:
Improper level setting. If the level of input to adevice is too high, the device is driven into itsnonlinear operating region. Improper alignment causing a device to functionnonlinearly.
Nonlinear envelope delay.

NoiseCrosstalk
Unwanted coupling betweensignal paths.
There are essentially three causesof crosstalk:1-Electrical coupling between transmission media,such as between wire pairs on a voice-frequency (VF)cable system.2-Poor control of frequency response (i.e., defective
filters or poor filter design).3-Nonlinear performance in analog (FDM) multiplexsystems.
There are two types of
crosstalk:1. Intelligible: Where at least four words areintelligible to the listener from extraneousconversation in a 7-s period.2. Unintelligible: Crosstalk resulting from any other
form of disturbing effects of one channel on another.

Noise
Impulse noise is noncontinuous,consisting of irregular pulses ornoise spikes of short duration,
broad spectral density, andrelatively high amplitude.
Impulse noise degrades telephony
ordinarily only marginally.
It may seriously degrade data errorperformance on data or other digital
waveforms.

If levels are too high, amplifiers becomeoverloaded, resulting in intermodulation and other
types of distortion such as crosstalk
If levels are too low, customer satisfaction maysuffer with a degraded loudness rating.
Level
The power in dBm is an absolute valuedefined by:
Power level (in dBm)= 10 log ( P in
mW / 1 mW)0 dBm = 1mW.
positive values of dBm are greater than 1mW.Negative values are less than 1mW.

qSignal energy entering from the two-wire subsetconnection divides equally, half of it dissipating in the
impedance of the four-wire side receive path and theother half going to the four-wire side transmit path.
qThe balancing network is supposed to display the
characteristic impedance of the two-wire line to thehybridqSignal energy entering from the four-wire sidereceive path is also split in half in the ideal situationwhere there is perfect balance. Half of the energy is
dissipated by the balancing network (N) and half atthe two-wire port (L).
In every case, ideally half of the signal energyentering the hybrid is used to advantage and
half is dissipated or wasted.
