4.1 Modulation and Multiplexing

4.1.1 Source Signals: Voice, Data, Video

➢ Source signals:-
✓ Voice, Data and video signals are the considered as business signals.
✓ Voice, data video are the three most common signals transmitter over satellite channels.
✓ Telephone speech signal, data signals of various types, and video signals, both broadcast
quality and business teleconferencing quality types of signals transmitted.

4.1.1.1 Telephone speech signal:-
✓ This is one of a class of audio signals occupying bandwidth of up to about 20 kHz.

Characteristics of telephone speech signals

✓ For economized and acceptable quality, the occupied bandwidth is 300 to 3400Hz.
✓ Nominal frequency spacing per channel is 4 kHz.
✓ Signal to noise ratio is 50dB.

✓ Telephone speech signal exhibit an amplitude distribution increasing both active speech and
silent intervals.
✓ Interference levels must be kept at levels of 60 – 65dB.
✓ The speech activity (average duty cycle) is 30-40%

✓ Increasing the use of digital transport facilities will result in significantly enhanced telephone
speech quality (more bandwidth and less noise).

✓ A useful measure of performance in telephone speech is the signal-to-noise ratio of the
received signal, together with the received power level at the telephone handset or some other
well-defined point in the system.




✓ Telephone speech signals exhibit an amplitude distribution as shown in figure, representing
both active speech and silent intervals, indicated by the jump at values x = 0 .
✓ From this distribution it can be determined that a practical peak-to-average ratio of 19dB
(approximately 3% peak clipping) is acceptable for engineering purposes.
✓ If this is coupled with the log-normal speech power distribution of telephone talkers with an
average of -22dBm and standard deviation of 5.5 dB.
✓ It should be realized that the 3% peak clipping only applies to the loudest talkers and that by
far the majority experiences none at all.
✓ The CCITT specifies the cross-talk interference must be kept at levels of -65dB or less.
✓ This translates to a 43-dB or better speech-to-crosstalk ratio.

✓ Important characteristic is that talkers tend to pause between phrases and sentences, which
results in active speech energy of about 1.33s average duration.
✓ The average activity (or) duty cycle in the speech signal is about 30% to 40% active and thus
70% to 60% idle time.

✓ In digital transmission, two additional parameters transmission bit rate and bit error rate must
be specified for ultimate quality of the reconstructed analog speech signal.
✓ Typical digital transmission rates for commercial speech telephony, ranges from 4.8 to 64kbs.
✓ Higher rates represent the public dial-up network, quality and lower rate the private business
network quality (or) cellular mobile systems.

4.1.1.2 Data signals:-
✓ Data signals are broadly classified into three ranges, by speed as
(i) Narrow band data (3300b/s)
(ii) Voice band data (3300b/s to 19 Kb/s)
(iii) Wide band data (> 19 kb/s)
✓ Narrow band data begin at telegraphy rates and includes a wide range of communication
applications with terminals and teleprinters usually implemented over with facilities requiring
no special precautions.
✓ Voice band data signals such as facsimile and transactional services supported at rates up to
19 kb/s suing data modems.
✓ Wide band data applications such as diachronic mail, high speed file transfer, computer-aided
design, video and teleconferencing and imaging utilize the efficient high-speed transmission
capabilities offered by satellite.
✓ In digital transmission, the protocols used to control computer communications.
✓ Transmission error rate depends critically on the applications.
✓ The error rate for data is moving several than for voice by order of magnitude.
✓ Thus a complicate system deigns where both voice and data applications must share the same
link

4.1.1.3 Video signals:-
✓ There are two types of video signals transmitted via satellite circuits,
→ Broadcast quality commercial television.
→ Television used for business teleconferencing
✓ Commercial broad cast quality signals are high-resolution high-quality signals and thus require
large bandwidth (or) high rates.
✓ Business video signal employ much laver data rates (  1.544 Mb/s) and a great deal of signal
processing is usually required to reduce data rate and bandwidth.
✓ Coding algorithms are defined by standard organization such as CCITT and VSTI committee.

✓ Television signals contain information in electrical form from which a picture can be recreated.
✓ To translate a complete picture into an electrical signal the electronic image of that picture is
trace scanned at high speed in a systematic manner.
✓ Such scanning is done horizontally starting at the upper-left corner.
✓ When the bottom of the image is reached, signifying the completion of a field, the process is
restarted from the top again, thus two fields complete a frame.
✓ Frame rate in US is 30 per second and in Europe (or) Japan the frame rate is 25 per second.

✓ The intensity of the light in part of the image is called Luminance and is represented by the
magnitude of the waveform representing each scan line.
