  1. Physical Layer

Classifications of Transmission Media

Copper

Twisted pair vs. coax cable.

A variety of modulation techniques are used.

Fiber

Modulate an optical signal.

Lots of capacity available!

Typically uses simple modulation schemes.

Wireless

No solid medium to guided signal.

Wide variety of distances: frequencies, distances, ...

Often uses very aggressive modulation techniques (later).
