INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
• Communication - is the
process of exchanging
information.
• Two of the main barriers to
human communication:
– Language
– Distance

SYSTEM BANDWIDTH
Bandwidth (BW) is that portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum occupied by a signal.
BW = f2 - f1
Where
f1 = lower frequency (Hz)
f2 = upper frequency (Hz)
