Up
until just over a years ago, the
entire world was
still using analogue radios, limited to signal strength
alters
and
a host of other difficulties in communication. The
fast communication we
have today
is because a
desperate search for a better way to communicate than analogue,
and
many technological
development must
be done
to get us until now. By making
our own larger ranges of frequencies, we
have improved
the way the world communicates, with
more improvements on the horizon. To understand how we reached
this point, it
might help to understand the way we were.
Signal Transmission
And Analogue RadiosFor
many years, the
whole world utilized
analogue transmissions as the preferential way of delivering
and
also receiving
telecommunication signals. Sent in the form of sound waves, the
transmission can be copied
continuously
until
it
was picked up by some
type of receiver, such
as analogue radios. This
kind of transmissions were limited to one wave per channel, and
if the channels became flooded with such transmissions, millions
of and
if the channels became possibly be lost without
knowing
it.As
demand rose for clearer communication possibilities, technology
had
to be first developed to handle it all. Thanks to the quest to improve
or replace analogue radios, televisions
as well as telephones, other
improvements were
produced or improved, taking
some of the pressure off. This
is how cell phones came
about, as
well as the higher
speed bandwidths used
in computer communications.
The Main Problem With Analogue
CommunicationSince
analogue radios and
other devices were
still dependent on those sound wave transmissions to communicate,
the
next step was a search for a method to overcome
the
main problem of analogue communication: clarity.
When a sound wave is transmitted, it
only duplicates
the first transmission again
and again, till
it reaches
a receiver. During
the period
of time prior
to reaching that receiver, it's
continually
growing
it's
signal strength, just
like a tidal wave builds
up signal
strength on the way.As
the signal strength grows, so
does the chance that static and
other sounds can be pulled
along with the repeating wave. By the time that wave would reach
analogue radios or other receivers, it
could have become so garbled with
other noises
that
the original message
is now lost. A way must
be found to strengthen the signal for transmission, while
blocking outexcess
sound
along
the way. The
first location they looked to was digital communication, now
restricted
to computer signals.
The Conversion To DigitalWhen
they started
looking at the technology behind computer communications, it
was discovered that a
crucial factor in the clarity of this format was the digital
conversion of data before
transmission. When
tested utilizing analogue radios, the conversion
of each
sound to it's binary format had improved the quality of the sound that
was received, and
the level of static noise had
been dropped quite a bit.
The drive was
on to improve the technology to fine tune the system for worldwide
communication. When done, converters were
created to help
improve the analogue signals into
digital format, help
growing the
amount of communication channels for transmission. However,
this
also meant the end of utilizing analogue radios, they
also still have an important
part in the history of digital communication.
