Summary

Several issues in communication system design are highlighted. Specifically, the effects of transmission losses in a communication system and ways of addressing the related challenges are reviewed. A basic link budget analysis is performed. The effects of non-ideal amplifiers to combat transmission losses are demonstrated, and the loss in the signal-to-noise ratio at the amplifier output is quantified. The use of analog and regenerative repeaters for transmission over long distances is explored. Furthermore, time-division, frequency-division, and code-division multiple-access techniques are described.
