5. Message defined as the physical
manifestation As produced by the
source.
There are two types of message
categories
1. Analog message
2. Digital message
6. • An analog message is a physical quantity
that varies with time usually in a smooth
and continuous fashion.
• E.g.-Sine wave, Voice, Video (TV)
7. Digital message
•A digital message is an ordered sequence of
symbols selected from a finite set of discrete
elements
• E.g.-Telegraph (Morse code),Continuous wave
(CW) code, Serial binary code (used in
computers)
8. Transducer is a device that converts a signal in
one form of message to another form of
message.
The input transducer converts the message to
an electrical signal say a voltage or current.
Another transducer at the destination
converts the output signal to the desired
message form.
10. There are three essential parts of any
communication system
1.The transmitter(sender)
2.Transmitter channel
3.Receiver
11. The transmitter processes the input signal to
produce a suitable transmitted signal suited to
the characteristics of the transmission
channel.
Signal processing for transmission almost
always involves modulation and may also
include coding
12. The transmission channel is the medium by
which the electrical signal is transmitted from
one place to another.
It may be a pair of wires, a c co-axial cable,
radio wave or laser beam.
Every channel introduces some amount of
transmission loss or attenuation.
14. The receiver operates on the output signal
from the channel in preparation for delivery to
the transducer at the destination.
Other Receiver operation are,
• Amplification to compensate for
transmission loss.
• Demodulation and Decoding
• Filtering
16. Data in a simplex channel is always one way.
It is not possible to send back error or control
the signals to the transmit end.
Ex:- Radio, TV broadcasting, Beeper (personal
receiver)
17. A HDX channel can send and receiver, but not
at same time.
Only one end transmits at a time, the other
end receives.
It possible to perform error detection and
request the sender to retransmit information
that arrived corrupted.
E.g.-Police, military radio transmissions,
Citizen band (CB),Family radio, Amateur radio
18.
19. Data can travel in both directions
simultaneously.
E.g.:- The telephone
20. Undesirable effect in the
course of signal
transmission
Distortion
Interference
Noise
Attenuation
23. Noise
• Noise is random, undesirable electronic
energy that enters the communication system
via the communicating medium and interferes
with the transmitted message.
24. Interference
• Interference is anything which modifies or
disrupts a signal as it travels along a channel
between a source and a receiver.
25. Modulation
Modulation is the process of generating
modulated carrier wave by combining the low
frequency signal (information/message) with a
very high frequency radio wave called carrier
wave.
Modulation makes the information signal
more compatible with the medium.
26. Types of modulation
Amplification modulation
The information signal changes the amplitude of the
carrier wave without changing its frequency or phase.
Frequency modulation
The information signal changes the frequency of the
carrier wave without changing its amplitude or phase.
Phase modulation
The information signal changes the phase of the carrier
wave without changing its frequency or amplitude.
