This book explains many types of Transmission Systems including: plain old telephone service (POTS), digital signal level (DSx), integrated services digital network (ISDN), digital subscriber line (DSL), optical carrier (OCx), ISDN digital subscriber line (IDSL), integrated digital loop carrier (IDLC), in-band signaling, out-of-band signaling, virtual circuits, and repeaters. Transmission systems interconnect communication devices by guiding signal energy in a particular direction or directions through a transmission medium such as copper, air, or glass. Described are the key types of more....

Line Resistance Attenuation
This figure shows how line resistance attenuation and the wire size decreases. This diagram shows that cables with larger diameter copper wires are typically used to in the distribution system. As the distribution system nears its destination, the size of the wire often decreases.
Crosstalk (NEXT & FEXT)
This figure shows two types of crosstalk; near end crosstalk (NEXT) and far end crosstalk (FEXT). NEXT results when some of the energy that is transmitted in the desired direction seeps into one (or more) adjacent communication lines from the originating source. FEXT occurs when some of the digital signal energy leaks from one twisted pair and is coupled back to a communications line that is transferring a signal in the opposite direction. Generally, NEXT is more serious than FEXT as the signal interference levels from NEXT are higher.
Evolution of DSL
This figure shows the evolution of DSL systems. This diagram shows that high-speed digital subscriber line technology has been readily available since the 1970s. In the late 1990's, the addition of advanced signal processing technology allowed DSL technology to rapidly increase transmission speed to over 50 Mbps in short distances.

Description
This book explains many types of Transmission Systems including: plain old telephone service (POTS), digital signal level (DSx), integrated services digital network (ISDN), digital subscriber line (DSL), optical carrier (OCx), ISDN digital subscriber line (IDSL), integrated digital loop carrier (IDLC), in-band signaling, out-of-band signaling, virtual circuits, and repeaters. Transmission systems interconnect communication devices by guiding signal energy in a particular direction or directions through a transmission medium such as copper, air, or glass. Described are the key types of transmission systems used in modern telecommunications networks. This includes multiplexed signals on twisted wire pairs, coax cable, fiberoptic cable and radio. Several technical aspects of transmission systems are covered including: analog transmission, digital transmission, and transmission medium limitations.
