Sub-Topic 1: Basic Electronic Communication Systems (Analogue and Digital
Communication systems)

Information is the knowledge or facts provided or learned about a particular thing, person,
and group of people etc. This could be inform of voice, texts, data, images while
communication deals with the transfer of information from one point to another or from
one person to another or group of persons to other persons. Technology is the application
of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Therefore information and communication
technology can be defined as the method of processing data and passing information
through the use of computer system.

A Computer is an electronic appliance which accepts (input) data and processes it, and
produces a useful result as the output. The computer parts are grouped as: (i) The computer
hardware (ii) The computer software.

The Computer hardware: These are the physical parts of the computer which can be seen
or touched. Such as: the input device (used for sending information into the computer .e.g.
Mouse, key board, Modem, Optical scanner, Microphones), the output device (these are the
devices that brings out data information from the computer to the user view e.g. Printer,
Monitor, Loud Speaker etc), and the storage device (these are the devices used for storing
data and programmes e.g. Flash drive, Floppy disk, Random Access memory etc).

The computer Software (operating system): this is the program which controls the working
of the computer. There are different types of software. Such as application software,
network software.

The main parts of the computer system are: the monitor, the mouse the key board and the
central processing unit (CPU).

Basic Electronic Communication systems

The basic communication systems are the analogue and the digital mode of communication.

2
The earlier form of communication system is the analogue communication system. The
analogue system is the one which shows its reading and which still have to be interpreted by
the user. Examples of these devices are: wall clock, television, Radio, Thermometer. The
modern communication systems use the digital communication system. The digital system is
the one which shows its reading directly in terms of figure and letters and therefore, do not
need any further interpretation. Examples of these devices are calculators, computer,
mobile phone, digital wrist watches.

The main advantage of digital transmission over the analogue transmission system is that it
is faster and much more efficient. The basic electronic communication system is shown in
the figure below:

The figure below represents analogue and digital signals:

Meaning and Nature of ICT

ICT (Information and communication technology), refers to the various electronic

technology involved in the storage of information together with their related application
and management.

ICT is made up of the technology behind the production of Computers, audio visual media,
communication gadgets, fax machine and so on. The world has become a global village, so
to say as one can sit in the comfort of his home and make transaction in foreign countries.

WEEK: THREE
DATE:
TOPIC: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (cont’d)
SUB-TOPICS:

1) Schematic diagram of GSM transmission process

2) Meaning of internet and its process
Content Development (NOTES FOR FIRST LESSON/PERIOD ONE)
Sub-Topic I: Schematic diagram of GSM transmission process

The global system of communication is an important part of information and

communication technology. Basically, the GSM is a form of wireless transmission system
which uses Radio waves and microwaves for conveying information.

Radio waves are often used locally while microwaves are used internationally to send signals
over long distances. GSM functions basically to facilitate a telephone communication and a
short message services (SMS), generally called a text message. Other functions of the GSM
are short message services (SMS), enhance messaging service (EMS), and multimedia
message service (MMS).

4
The GSM consists of two parts, namely the mobile radio telephone itself and the subscriber
identity module (SIM). This is what makes it possible to know the different users in the GSM
network.

The telephone (handset) has a unique serial number called the international mobile
equipment identity (IMEI). The user of the telephone is given a customer number called
International Mobile subscribers identity (IMSI) when the person register with a network
provider.

The diagram below shows the basic sections (Schematic diagram) of GSM transmission
process.

Base Base Station Mobile

Transmission center (BSC) switching
Station (BTS) center (MSC)

From the diagram, the base transmitting station is where the equipment for transmitting
and receiving signals such as calls, messages, data, is located. It is the link between the
network provider and the mobile phone. The base station center controls whatever is
transmitted from or received into the station.

The mobile switching station controls the base station center, it performs all the technical
functions of a ‘landline` network switching system.

The home location register is where every information (such as the name of the subscriber,
the type of service the subscriber requires etc) about the subscriber are stored. The visitor
location register is what makes the network provider to know where the subscriber is and

5
whether the mobile phone is switched on or off whenever connection is to be made from a
landline network to a mobile phone, or from one mobile network to another.

The authentication center is a store that provides information on the subscriber’s

entitlement to use a network. that is whether the subscriber has taken out a card contract.
The identification register helps the network provider to hold the details of all functioning
mobile phones on the network, all the defective phones and all stolen phones. But not all
network providers maintain an equipment register.

EVALUATION

Draw the schematic diagram of GSM transmission process and state the meaning of each of
the components in your diagram

Content Development (NOTES FOR SECOND LESSON/PERIOD TWO)

Sub-Topic II: Meaning of internet and its process

The internet is a global system of information exchange, which is based on the use of
computer and other communication hardware and software. And in internet, the distance
between the communication systems could several thousands of kilometers apart. The
World Wide Web, generally called ‘www` is the gate way to access the internet, so the
World Wide Website is sometimes called the internet. The website serves as data base for
world information, therefore, any information that is not captured in it cannot be accessed
any where tin the world.

There are three different types of internet services depending on the numbers of user and
the distance between them. These are the LAN, WAN and WWW.

LAN (Local Area Network): This type of network is used in an organization that is based at
particular location where they have sizable number of computers connected together for
their private and independent Network. This type of network is a local network.

WAN (Wide Area Network): This type of network is used by organizations that have different
offices across a particular city or inter-state. They link up together to access a common
information that is provided in the server base of the organization, though they are far apart
from each other. This type of link (network) between the offices of the organization is
known as WAN. This type of network is a National network.

WWW (World Wide Web): This type of network connects thousands of computer users at a
time across the globe (world). This is an international Network.

used Equipment for internet access and communication.
(ii) Telephone Line: this is used for the activating of dial-up which is the booting-up
on the www itself when needed.
(iii) Modem: This is a device that converts the analogue data (signal) from the
telephone lines to digital data that can go into the computer. It is used between
the computer on the internet and the telephone line linking them. A modem can
be said to be technically used for modulation and de-modulation.
(iv) Fax machine: It is used to send document from one point to another desired
point. It has to be connected to a telephone line to be used.
(v) Server: This is a special computer which is part of a LAN. The server functions to
enable the computers on the LAN to have access to the service available on a
particular network.

The diagram below illustrates the internet transmission process.

3) Plastics

Content Development (NOTES FOR FIRST LESSON/PERIOD ONE)

Sub –Topic I: Ceramics
Ceramic is a material made of clay and cement that has been made permanently hard by
heat
Properties of ceramics
1. Heat-resistant (they do not allow heat to pass through easily)
2. Brittle (they break easily)
3. Heavy
4. Resistant to corrosion ( they do not rust)
5. They can be decorated in a wide range of colours, textures and design
Uses of ceramics
Bricks and Tiles
Fried bricks are used in modern construction work. They have an added advantage over
cement bricks in that if properly laid, there is no need to paint them. Glazed tiles are very
common in the house e.g. floor tiles, wall tiles and sanitary tiles
Refractory and insulation
Specially fried bricks are used for the inner lining of furnaces used for melting. This is as a
result of their high fire resistant ability and their insulating property.
Household utensils
Ceramics are used in the production of chinaware, earthenware, stone ware and porcelain.
All these are molded into beautiful decorated jugs, plates and ashtrays for domestic use.
Ceramics for Electrical Purposes
These consist of high voltage materials such as those used as insulators on pylons, and low
voltage materials for small electric components as in capacitors and magnets. They are also
used in manufacture of sparking plugs used in motor vehicles.

Content Development (NOTES FOR SECOND LESSON/PERIOD TWO)
Sub- topic II: Rubber
Rubber is a material which can be compressed or stretched. You must have observed that a
compressed or stretched piece or strip of rubber returns to its original size when you
remove the applied force on it. The main reason for this is that rubber is more elastic than
other engineering materials.
There are two types of rubber, namely natural rubber and synthetic rubber. In Nigeria,
natural rubber is made from the milky white liquid of rubber trees called latex. Synthetic
rubber is made from petroleum. Synthetic rubber is also known as elastomer.
Properties of Rubber
1. elastic
2. water resistant
3. light and will float when put in water
4. a poor conductor of electricity
Products made from rubber are found in our homes and they vary.
1. football
2. shoe heels and soles
3. tyres

18
 4. vee-belts
5. water hoses
6. shock- dampers and engine mountings
Sub-Topic III: Plastics
Plastics are made from chemical s we get from crude oil. Types of Plastics are gotten by
mixing these chemicals in different ways.
Plastics can be divided into two main groups:
1. Thermoplastics
2. Thermosets
Thermoplastics: They become soft and melt when heated. They can then be formed into
desired shapes. The plastics harden when cooled. Heating and cooling can be done over and
over again. Examples are nylon, polythene etc

Thermosets: Thermosets (thermosetting) only char at high temperature but do not melt.
Once the material softens on heating, it can be molded. Thermoset can be moulded only
once. Examples are phenol formaldehyde, polyester resin etc

Properties of Plastics

1. resistant to corrosion
2. elastic
3. flexible
4. light
5. transparent
6. attractive and easy to clean
7. resistant to electricity
8. can take complex shapes

Uses of plastics
Household
Items such as buckets, shopping-bags, cups, spoons and water bottles are made of plastics.
So are water-pipes, storage boxes, foam mattresses etc
Automobiles
Some parts in aircraft and automobiles are made of plastic. They are wire insulation, hoes,
accelerator and clutch pedal covers, fuels filters and

many others.
Industrial
Nowadays, plastic containers are used in breweries and bottling companies for carrying
bottles. In some cases, plastics are now replacing glass bottles for the storage of industrial
products.
