Study Notes
Introduction to Communication
- Communication is the process of creating a connection between two points to exchange information.
Block Diagram of a Communication System
- A communication system is a system designed to exchange information.
- The system comprises the following components:
- Information Source
- Input Transducer
- Transmitter
- Communication Channel
- Receiver
- Destination
Elements of a Communication System
Information Source
- The information source generates the information to be transmitted.
Input Transducer
- The input transducer converts information from its original form into a form suitable for transmission.
Transmitter
- The transmitter processes the information and sends it across the communication channel.
- The transmitter generates radio waves from an antenna for data transmission.
- Examples of transmitters include FM, AM and PM transmitters.
Communication Channel
- The communication channel is the medium through which the information travels from the transmitter to the receiver.
Receiver
- The receiver receives the transmitted information and processes it.
Destination
- The destination is the final stage of the communication system.
- The destination is used to convert the electrical message signal back into its original form.
- An example is a loudspeaker, which converts an electrical signal into an audible sound signal.
