engineering has blossomed from focusing on electrical circuits for power, telegraphy and telephony to focusing on a much broader range of disciplines. However,theunderlyingthemesarerelevanttoday: Powercreationandtransmissionandinformationhave been the underlying themes of electrical engineering for a century and a half. This course concentrates on the latter theme: the representation, manipulation, transmission, and reception of information by electrical means. This course describes what information is, how engineers quantify information, and how electrical signals represent information. Information can take a variety of forms. When you speak to a friend, your thoughts are translated by yourbrainintomotorcommandsthatcausevariousvocaltractcomponents(cid:21)thejaw, thetongue, thelips(cid:21)to moveinacoordinatedfashion. Informationarisesinyourthoughtsandisrepresentedbyspeech,whichmust haveawellde(cid:28)ned, broadlyknownstructureso thatsomeone elsecan understandwhat yousay. Utterances convey information in sound pressure waves, which propagate to your friend’s ear. There, sound energy is converted back to neural activity, and, if what you say makes sense, she understands what you say. Your words could have been recorded on a compact disc (CD), mailed to your friend and listened to by her on her stereo. Information can take the form of a text (cid:28)le you type into your word processor. You might send the (cid:28)le via e-mail to a friend, who reads it and understands it. From an information theoretic viewpoint, all of these scenarios are equivalent, although the forms of the information representation(cid:21)sound waves, plastic and computer (cid:28)les(cid:21)are very di(cid:27)erent. Engineers, who don’t care about information content, categorize information into two di(cid:27)erent forms: analog and digital. Analog information is continuous valued; examples are audio and video. Digital information is discrete valued; examples are text (like what you are reading now) and DNA sequences. The conversion of information-bearing signals from one energy form into another is known as energy conversionortransduction. Allconversionsystemsareine(cid:30)cientsincesomeinputenergyislostasheat,but thislossdoesnotnecessarilymeanthattheconveyedinformationislost.

INTRODUCTION Telegraphy represents the earliest electrical information system, and it dates from 1837. At that time, electricalsciencewaslargelyempirical,andonlythosewithexperienceandintuitioncoulddeveloptelegraph systems. Electrical science came of age when James Clerk Maxwell2 proclaimed in 1864 a set of equations that he claimed governed all electrical phenomena. These equations predicted that light was an electro- magnetic wave, and that energy could propagate. Because of the complexity of Maxwell’s presentation, the development of the telephone in 1876 was due largely to empirical work. Once Heinrich Hertz con(cid:28)rmed Maxwell’s prediction of what we now call radio waves in about 1882, Maxwell’s equations were simpli(cid:28)ed by Oliver Heaviside and others, and were widely read. This understanding of fundamentals led to a quick successionofinventions(cid:21)thewirelesstelegraph(1899),thevacuumtube(1905),andradiobroadcasting(cid:21)that marked the true emergence of the communications age. During the (cid:28)rst part of the twentieth century, circuit theory and electromagnetic theory were all an electricalengineerneededtoknowtobequali(cid:28)edandproduce(cid:28)rst-ratedesigns. Consequently,circuittheory served as the foundation and the framework of all of electrical engineering education. At mid-century, three "inventions" changed the ground rules. These were the (cid:28)rst public demonstration of the (cid:28)rst electronic computer (1946), the invention of the transistor (1947), and the publication of A Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude Shannon3 (1948). Although conceived separately, these creations gave birth to the information age, in which digital and analog communication systems interact and compete for design preferences. About twenty years later, the laser was invented, which opened even more design possibilities. Thus, the primary focus shifted from how to build communication systems (the circuit theory era) to what communications systems were intended to accomplish. Only once the intended system is speci(cid:28)ed can an implementation be selected. Today’s electrical engineer must be mindful of the system’s ultimate goal, and understand the tradeo(cid:27)s between digital and analog alternatives, and between hardware and software con(cid:28)gurations in designing information systems.

Stated in mathematical terms, a signal is merely a function. Analog signals are continuous- valued; digital signals are discrete-valued. The independent variable of the signal could be time (speech, for example), space (images), or the integers (denoting the sequencing of letters and numbers in the football score). 1.2.1 Analog Signals Analog signals are usually signals de(cid:28)ned over continuous independent variable(s). Speech (Section 4.10) is produced by your vocal cords exciting acoustic resonances in your vocal tract. The result is pressure waves propagating in the air, and the speech signal thus corresponds to a function having independent variables of space and time and a value corresponding to air pressure: s(x,t) (Here we use vector notation x to denote spatial coordinates). When you record someone talking, you are evaluating the speech signal at a particular spatial location, x say. An example of the resulting waveform s(x ,t) is shown in this (cid:28)gure (Figure 1.1: 0 0 Speech Example). 2http://www-groups.dcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/∼history/Mathematicians/Maxwell.html 3http://www.lucent.com/minds/infotheory/ 4http://www.dss.rice.edu/ 5http://cnx.org/content/m0000/latest/FundElecEngBraille.zip 6Thiscontentisavailableonlineat<http://cnx.org/content/m0001/2.26/>.
