• What is Communication?
• Types of Communication
– Signals
– Electrical innovations:
• Telegraph
• Telephone
• Radio
• Television
• Internet (computer)
Basic Components of Communication
Source
• The source originate a message. The information is basically the news, one which to convey.
• The original source information can be in an analog form, such as human voice, music,
and television picture or in digital form, such as binary coded number and computer
data.
Input Transducer
• A transducer is a sensor which converts any other form (pressure, light) of a signal
into electrical signal.
• Input transducer converts any other form of energy into electrical signals. This electrical
signal is information which needs to be transmitted.
Transmitter
• The transmitter is a circuit which modifies the input electrical signal into a suitable form
• In addition to that, it increase the power level of the signal. The power level should be increase in
• Wire, coaxial cable, radio link, an optical fiber and a waveguide are the examples of a channel.
• Unfortunately, there are noises in the channel. which also adds up and modifies the transmitted signal.
Receiver
• The main function of the receiver is to reproduce the original message
Output Transducer
• The output transducer converts the electrical signal into its original form.
• Because we need the original message that the source originated. It converts it

• Video (TV)

Digital Communication

Analog & Digital Signal
• Analog signal are continuous and take continuous values.
• Analog signals can have an infinite number of values in a
range
• Digital signal have discrete states and take discrete values.
• Digital signals can have only a limited
number of values.
In communication systems, we commonly
use periodic analog signals and
nonperiodic digital signals.
Periodic Analog Signal
• Periodic analog signals can be classified as simple or
composite.
• A simple periodic analog signal, a sine wave, cannot be
decomposed into simpler signals.
• A composite periodic analog signal is composed of multiple
sine waves.

• Frequency
• Phase
• Wavelength
• Bandwidth
