Signal and Data Processing Circuit Assignment Od 014co: 1. ERICK KASHOMA 130222433439 2. MARSEL COSTANTINE 130222421203

This document discusses different types of transmission media used to transmit data from one device to another. It describes wired/guided media such as fiber optic cables and coaxial cables which have physical connections. It also describes wireless/unguided media such as radio waves and microwaves which transmit data through the air without cables. The document compares the advantages and disadvantages of wired and wireless media, and gives examples of applications for each type.

What is Transmission media

Sending of data from one device to another


called Transmission of data.
Medium used to transmit data call media
So transmission of data through medium
called Transmission media.its the pathway
that carries the information from sender to
receiver.
Transmission media are located below physical
layer
Types of transmission Media
Transmission media classified into two group
1. Wired or guided or bound transmission
media
2. Unwired or unguided Transmission media
Transmission Media

Wired/guided Wireless/unguided
Wired or guided transmission media
Wired transmission media are the cables that are
tangible or have physical existence
Examples of wired transmission are
Fiber optical cables

Co axial cable

Twisted cable
Advantage of wired transmission
media
It possible to connect more devices to one
another using wired network
Some of wired transmission media for
instance DLS:internet access will transmit data
far faster than wireless
Its compatible with both order cell phone and
computers using everything from phone line
to usb or Ethernet
Disadvantage of wired transmission
media
It has limited by the physical geography
Some of cables affected by external
electromagnetic field eg UTP
Some of cables needs expert during the
maintenance and installation process
Its expensive
Application of wired or guided
transmission
They are used in telecommunication company
Highly bandwidth capability with unshielded
twisted pair cables is used in LAN
The DSL(digital subscribe line) line that are
used in telephone companies to provide high
data rate connection
Wireless or unguided transmission
media
This is away of transmitting data without using
cables
Some of popular examples of unguided
transmission media are
Microwave
Radio wave
Infra red
Advantage of wireless or unguided
transmission media
Its not bounded by physical geography
It has ability to transfer data far compared some of
wired transmission
Disadvantage
Wireless transmission media has no good security so
its will be easily to be attacked with hacker
Wireless connection often suffer from interference and
weak signals depending on location
-so its affect the speed of data transmission
Weather change can affect signal transmission
sometime tend low or weak signal
Application of wireless or unguided
media
They are used in satellite network
They are used in cellular phone
They are used in wireless LANs
