How to reference this medium
A digital phone call (DSL, ISDN) is transmitted as an audio frequency. If you listen in to the transmission signal, though, all that you can hear is an incomprehensible twittering noise. This is because the signal is digitized and coded in binary form. At the beginning you will hear the dialing tone, a sequence of different pitches containing the call number in coded form. The subsequent twittering noise is then the digital call signal.
Information and ideas:
Students can carry out their own experiments with a classic analog modem with a monitor speaker which is a very good way to study the transmission of digital data in the audio frequency range. If you carry out the connection test with T-Online, for example, you can see what is happening and being transmitted at that moment in a text log displayed on the screen parallel to the audible sound.
