Media Of Communication Part 2


Unguided Media
Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication.
We can divided wireless transmission in :-
  1.Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic  waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.
  On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.
  •    Bluetooth:- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.
  •     Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.

   · Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up to 150 metres.
  •   Wi-Max:- Wi-max stands for worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access. It is a type of telecommunication technology that provides wireless transmission form multi-point links to portable and fully mobile internet Access. Whose range up to 50km. and speed up to 3mbps.

  2.Microwave:- Electromagnetic waves having frequencies between 1 and 300Ghz are called microwave. Microwaves are unidirectional. It is very useful when unicast (one to one) communication is needed.
Ex- Cellular phones, Satellite network and wireless LAN.
  3.Infrared waves:- Infrared waves, with frequencies from 300 GHz to 400 THz. Can be used for short range communication. It is necessary to place two infrared devices within a few feet for them. It can work only in the direct “Light of sight”.
Ex- IR Remotes, motion sensors etc.

BASIC STRUCTURE OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM

Computer Function A computer performs action and accomplishes its task in three basic stages namely:- INPUT – Input is the data that is fed into the computer by the user. PROCESS – Processing refers to the series of action by which the computer converts raw data into information. OUTPUT – Output is the result which is termed as information. Input Unit Data and instructions enter a computer through an input unit in a form that depends upon the input device used. Ex- Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick, Scanner etc. CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (C.P.U) CPU is also known as the brain of the “Brain of Computer”. As it appears as a hardware component, but it is also a functional component of a computer system. Functional Elements of a CPU        1.        Arithmetic Logic Unit(ALU)        2.        Control Unit(C.U)        3.    ...

DEVICES USED IN NETWORK

  1. MODEM: It stands for Modulator- Demodulator. A   modem is a peripheral device which modulates ( convert   digital signals to analog signals) and demodulates( convert   analog signals into digital signals) at the local workstation.   The sending and receiving ends of the communication must   have a modem. Now a days mobile phones have inbuilt   modem devices that help to browse internet.      2. Switch: A network switch is a small hardware device that is used to amplify data signals & create smaller network segment or several subnets of bigger network. It is used to prevent overloading of data in the traffic of a network. It is also responsible for forwarding and transforming data packets between the sub networks.    3. HUB:   A hub is a hardware device which provides common connection point to connect several devices together in a network. It contains multiple ports on which wo...

Application OF Computer

Communication : - In the past, people used to communication through letters, telephones etc. The advent of computers has made it possible to share or exchange information in real time (instant). Information can be textual, graphics or visual from any corner of the world in different ways. Like – Email, Online chatting, Video conferencing, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telnet, Social Networking. News & Broadcasting : The delivery and reception of news has changed dramatically with the advent of computers. Earlier, Journalists used snail mail, reel-to-reel recorders, dark-room processing for photos and typewriters for composing contents. But now computers have facilitated in Instant Broadcast, Online Newspapers, Online News Channels, etc. Social Networking: Before the advent of computer, people used to interact with friends and relatives in closed groups and meet them during family functions, religious ceremonies and gatherings at local temples, gurudwaras, mosques or church...
