2. Digital communication system

Analogue communication system is the electronic communication system such as telephone, equipment designed to carry only voice transmission, which is composed of continuous electrical wave. Examples of analogue systems are telephone box, television set with knob, clock or watch etc.


Digital communication system is the electronic communication system designed to process data as digital signals which are individual electrical pulses that represent the bits that are grouped together in bytes. It is a series of the numbers one i.e. 1s and zeros i.e. 0s. Examples of digital systems are digital watch, mobile phone, digital camera, remote controlled TV etc.

LESSON 4
TOPIC: WORKING PRINCIPLE OF GSM
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

CONTENT:
The components of GSM transmission are:
(a) Local antenna
(b) Mast
(c) MTSO (mobile telephone switching office)
(d) Telephone (mobile phone)


WORKING PRINCIPLE
A GSM telephone uses radio waves to communicate with a local antenna assigned to a specific geographical area called mast. Each mast range from one to ten miles in width and uses between 50 and 75 radio channels. When a call is made from a GSM telephone, the signal is picked up by the nearest GSM antenna. The antennas are located in masts from one to ten miles wide. The GSM antenna relays the signal to the mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) which directs the call to the receiver, when the call is being made to a conventional telephone, the signal enters the regular telephone system lines through which it will get to the telephone.

EVALUATION:
Mention the components of GSM transmission.
Explain the working principle of a GSM.

ASSIGNMENT:
Write briefly on the working principle of the internet.
