Background
Signals mostly exist in analog form so it has to be converted to digital form for transmission
which is robust to channel noise and interference, more secure, cheap, easy to detect and correct
errors and also easy to regenerate. Hence, we deal with digital transmission that involves transfer
of digital bit stream (data) over communication channel. In this transmission we have two
techniques which are:
i)
by passing the data through a baseband channel. It has frequency spectrum that is concentrated
around 0 Hz.
ii)
fixed frequency and the modulated signal is transmitted over a band-pass channel.

demodulators
No need of carrier frequency
Spectrum has nonzero values around the
transmission
In modulation process carrier signal is used
Spectrum has nonzero values around the carrier

BASEBAND TRANSMISSION
medium
Suitable for long distance transmission
PASSBAND TRANSMISSION
WEAKNESSES
BASEBAND
Cannot operate for long range transmission
Highly affected by noise and interference
PASSBAND
It requires large bandwidth of transmission
Has high attenuation as signals frequency
increases
Requires expensive components.
APPLICATIONS
BASEBAND
-File transfer using USB/coaxial cable from pc to pc,
PASSBAND
-In long range Television and satellite
pc to mobile, camera to TV
-In short range wired CCTV communication
-Voice communication(0-4kHz) e.g. Microphone to
transmission
-Used in color filtering
-Used in electrocardiograph i.e. to display the
speaker
-Used in short distance wired telephone
rate of heartbeat
-Used in long range wired/wireless telephone
communication
