Study Notes
Introduction to Electronic Communication Systems
- Learning objectives include explaining the functions of electronic communication system components, discussing modulation and multiplexing, and defining the electromagnetic spectrum and its segments.
Significance of Human Communication
- Communication is the exchange of information, conveying thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
- Involves verbal, nonverbal, print, and electronic processes.
- Major barriers include language differences and distance; early humans communicated face-to-face.
Communication Systems Overview
- All systems consist of three main components: transmitter, communication channel/medium, and receiver.
- The message, referred to as information or intelligence signal, is transmitted as an electronic signal.
Components of Communication Systems
- Transmitter: Converts electrical signals to suitable transmission formats; includes oscillators, amplifiers, tuned circuits, modulators, and synthesizers.
- Communication Channel: Medium for signal transmission; includes wire conductors, fiber-optic cables, and free space (radio).
- Receiver: Accepts transmitted messages, converting them back to understandable forms; includes amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and demodulators.
Two-Way Communication
- Most electronic communication allows for two-way interaction, requiring both transmitters and receivers in systems known as transceivers.
- Transceivers integrate all circuits in a single housing, often sharing power supply circuits.
Types of Electronic Communication Systems
- Electronic communications can be classified based on their specific characteristics and applications.
