Telecommunication Transmission System
There are two systems for telecommunication transmission, analogue transmission system and digital transmission system.
Analogue transmission uses signals that are exact replica of the sound or picture being transmitted. For example, an analogue telephone system transmits an electric current that copies the pattern of sound waves of the speaker's voice. This current travels over wire and is converted back to sound waves in the telephone receiver. Radio, television etc are some of the devices that employ analogue transmission.
In digital transmission system, the signals are converted into a code. In most cases, the code has two elements, such as the dot-dash of Morse code or the on-off flashing of a light. This flashing- of- a -light coded signals are popular now a days and are send out by a rapidly blinking ray of light which are decoded at the receiving end. A device called a laser produces the light, which travels through thin strands of glass called optical fibres. GPRS, SMS and other data services work upon digital transmission.
