LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1. What is basic communication model? Explain its each block with a suitable figure.
Ans:-
The basic communication model represents how information is transmitted from a sender to a receiver through a medium. It consists of the following blocks:
- Sender (Transmitter): The originator of the message, such as a computer, mobile phone, or human voice.
- Encoder: Converts the message into signals suitable for transmission.
- Channel: The medium through which the signal travels, such as wired or wireless networks.
- Decoder: Converts received signals back into understandable information.
- Receiver: The final destination that interprets the message.
- Noise: Any unwanted disturbance that affects the message clarity.
- Feedback: The response from the receiver to confirm message reception.
A simple diagram of the communication model:
This model ensures effective data transmission in communication systems.
2. Draw a simple block diagram of a communication system and explain the working of each block.
Ans:-
A basic communication system consists of:
- Information Source: Produces the message to be transmitted.
- Transmitter: Converts the message into a transmittable signal.
- Channel: The medium (air, cable, fiber optics) that carries the signal.
- Receiver: Receives and processes the signal.
- Destination: The final recipient of the message.
Block Diagram:
Each block works together to ensure smooth communication between sender and receiver.
3. Explain the following:
(a) Analog Communication
Ans:- Analog communication transmits information using continuous signals. Examples include radio and telephone communication. It is susceptible to noise and interference.
(b) Digital Communication
Ans:- Digital communication transmits information using discrete signals (0s and 1s). It is more reliable, efficient, and widely used in computers and mobile networks.
4. Explain communication protocol and its function.
Ans:-
A communication protocol is a set of rules that governs data exchange between devices in a network.
Functions of Communication Protocols:
- Data formatting and transmission.
- Error detection and correction.
- Ensuring security and authentication.
- Managing network traffic and routing.
Examples: TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP.
5. What do you understand by parallel as well as sequential transmission? Explain in detail.
Ans:-
Parallel Transmission: Multiple bits are sent simultaneously over separate channels. It is faster but requires more resources. Example: Computer buses.
Sequential Transmission: Data is sent bit by bit in a sequential manner over a single channel. It is slower but cost-effective. Example: USB communication.
6. What is multiplexing? What are its types? Explain briefly.
Ans:-
Multiplexing is a technique that allows multiple signals to be transmitted over a single communication channel.
Types of Multiplexing:
- Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): Uses different frequency bands.
- Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): Allocates time slots to different signals.
- Space Division Multiplexing (SDM): Uses separate physical pathways.
SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1. What do you understand by computer and communication? What are its uses?
Ans:- Computers and communication systems work together to enable data exchange. They are used in emails, online banking, video conferencing, and cloud computing.
2. What is a signal, and what are its types?
Ans:- A signal is a waveform that carries data. It can be analog (continuous) or digital (discrete).
3. What are the main types of modulation?
Ans:-
- Amplitude Modulation (AM)
- Frequency Modulation (FM)
- Phase Modulation (PM)
4. What are synchronous and asynchronous transmission?
Ans:-
- Synchronous Transmission: Data is sent in continuous blocks with timing synchronization.
- Asynchronous Transmission: Data is sent in independent units with start/stop bits.
5. What are data transmission lines and their types?
Ans:- Data transmission lines are communication paths for data transfer. Types:
- Wired (Fiber optic, Coaxial, Twisted pair)
- Wireless (Radio waves, Microwaves, Satellites)
VERY SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1. What is data?
Ans:- Data is raw information processed to produce meaningful output.
2. What do you understand by information?
Ans:- Processed and meaningful data is called information.
3. What is a signal?
Ans:- A signal is an electrical waveform that carries data.
4. What are analog and digital transmission?
Ans:- Analog transmission is continuous, while digital transmission is in binary (0s & 1s).
