Lecture 2: Data Transmission Modes & Types of Communication

This lecture covers the different transmission modes and types of data communication.

1. Data Transmission Modes:

Transmission mode refers to the direction of signal flow between two connected devices. There are
three main types:

a. Simplex Mode:

- Data flows in one direction only.


- One device is always the sender, and the other is always the receiver.
- Example: Keyboard to computer, radio broadcasting.

b. Half Duplex Mode:

- Data flows in both directions, but only one direction at a time.


- Devices take turns to send or receive data.
- Example: Walkie-talkies.

c. Full Duplex Mode:

- Data flows in both directions simultaneously.


- Increases efficiency.
- Example: Telephone communication.

2. Types of Data Transmission:

a. Serial Transmission:

- Data is sent bit by bit, one after another, over a single channel.
- Suitable for long-distance communication.
- Slower but cost-effective.
- Example: USB, RS-232.

b. Parallel Transmission:

- Multiple bits are sent simultaneously using multiple channels (wires).


- Used for short-distance high-speed communication.
- Example: Data transfer between CPU and RAM.
3. Transmission Media:

a. Guided Media (Wired):

- Data is transmitted through physical cables.


- Examples:
- Twisted Pair Cable
- Coaxial Cable
- Fiber Optic Cable

b. Unguided Media (Wireless):

- Data is transmitted through air using electromagnetic waves.


- Examples:
- Radio Waves
- Microwaves
- Infrared
