Communication System Fundamentals

About Course
Communication System Fundamentals
Communication consists of transferring information in various forms (text, audio, video) from one place to the other. This process needs at least three elements: an information source, a medium carrying information to a remote point, and a sink collecting the transmitted information. We usually imagine that people are directly involved, at least as sources and addressees of the information, but nowadays it is not always the case: the equipment itself exchanges information e.g. remote control data. In the simplest case, a messenger may transmit the information but usually, some technical means are used for it. Therefore, a communication system Fundamentals may be defined as a set of facilities making possible communication by means of signals.
