First Wired Communication: Telegraphy „ Samuel F.B. Morse had the idea of the telegraph on a sea cruise in the 1833. He studied physics for two years, and In 1835 demonstrated a working prototype, which he patented in 1837. „ Derivatives of Morse’ binary code are still in use today „ The US Congress funded a demonstration line from Washington to Baltimore, completed in 1844. „ 1844: the first commercial telegraph circuits were coming into use. The railroads soon were using them for train dispatching, and the Western Union company resold idle Samuel F. B. Morse time on railroad circuits for public telegrams, nationwide at the peak of his career „ 1857: first trans-Atlantic submarine cable was installed

Wired Communication for Everyone: Telephony „ By the 1870’s, the telegraph was in use all over the world and largely taken for granted by the public, government, and business. „ In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone, a device for carrying actual voices over wires. „ Initial telephone demonstrations sparked intense public interest and by the late 1890’s, telephone service was available in most towns and cities across the USA

Development of North American Cellular „ In the late 1970’s, the FCC (USA Federal Communications Commission) allocated 40 MHz. of spectrum in the 800 MHz. range for public mobile telephony. „ FCC adopted Bell Lab’s AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) standard, creating cellular as we know it today • The USA was divided into 333 MSAs (Metropolitan Service Areas) and over 300 RSAs (Rural Service Areas) „ In 1987, FCC allocated an additional 10 MHz. of “expanded spectrum” „ By 1990, all MSAs and RSAs had competing licenses granted and at least one system operating. „ In the 1990’s, additional technologies were developed for cellular • TDMA (IS-54,55,56, IS-136) (also, GSM in Europe/worldwide) • CDMA (IS-95) „ US Operators did not pay for their spectrum, although processing fees (typically $10,000’s) were charged to cover license administrative cost

Development of North America PCS „ By 1994, US cellular systems were seriously overloaded and looking for capacity relief • The FCC allocated 120 MHz. of spectrum around 1900 MHz. for new wireless telephony known as PCS (Personal Communications Systems), and 20 MHz. for unlicensed services • allocation was divided into 6 blocks; 10-year licenses were auctioned to highest bidders „ PCS Licensing and Auction Details • A & B spectrum blocks licensed in 51 MTAs (Major Trading Areas ) • Revenue from auction: $7.2 billion (1995) • C, D, E, F blocks were licensed in 493 BTAs (Basic Trading Areas) • C-block auction revenue: $10.2 B, D-E-F block auction: $2+ B (1996) • Auction winners are free to choose any desired technology • About half the C-block winners were unable to pay for their licenses. They wrangled in and out of court, with final disposition in 2005.

Different Frequencies Different Phases February, 2005

„ The purpose of telecommunications is to send information from one place to another „ Our civilization exploits the transmissible nature of radio signals, using them in a sense as our “carrier pigeons” „ To convey information, some characteristic of the radio signal must be altered (I.e., ‘modulated’) to represent the information „ The sender and receiver must have a consistent understanding of what the variations mean to each other • “one if by land, two if by sea” „ Three commonly-used RF signal characteristics which can be varied for information transmission:

• Amplitude • Frequency • Phase

AM: Our First “Toehold” for Transmission „ The early radio pioneers could only turn their crude transmitters on and off. They could form the dots and dashes of Morse code. The first successful radio experiments happened during the mid-1890’s by experimenters in Italy, England, Kentucky, and elsewhere. „ By 1910, vacuum tubes gave experimenters better control over RF power generation. RF power could now be linearly modulated in step with sound vibrations. Voices and music could now be transmitted!! Still, nobody anticipated FM, PM, or digital signals. „ Commercial public AM broadcasting began in the early 1920’s. „ Despite its disadvantages and antiquity, AM is still alive: • AM broadcasting continues today in 540-1600 KHz. • AM modulation remains the international civil aviation standard, used by all commercial aircraft (108-132 MHz. band). • AM modulation is used for the visual portion of commercial television signals (sound portion carried by FM modulation) • Citizens Band (“CB”) radios use AM modulation • Special variations of AM featuring single or independent sidebands, with carrier suppressed or attenuated, are used for marine, commercial, military, and amateur communications
