Introduction:
Elements of Communication:
Block diagram of communication system:
Terms:
1) Transducer:
Any device that converts one form of energy into another
2) Signal:
Information converted in electrical form and suitable for transmission. It can be analog or
digital.
3) Noise:
unwanted signals that tend to disturb the transmission and processing of message
signals in communication system.
4) Transmitter:
It processes the incoming message signal so as to make it suitable for transmission
through a channel and subsequent reception.
5) Receiver:
It extracts the desired message signals from the received signals at the channel output.
6) Attenuation:
The loss of strength of a signal while propagating through a medium.
Terms:
7) Amplification:
Process of increasing the amplitude(strength) of a signal using an amplifier.
8) Range:
Largest distance between a source and a destination up to which the signal is received
with sufficient strength.
9) Bandwidth:
The frequency range over which an equipment operates
10) Modulation:
It is the process of superimposing the low frequency message signal on a high frequency
carrier wave.
11) Demodulation:
It is the process of retrieval of information from carrier wave at the receiver end.
10) Repeater:
It Is a combination of receiver and transmitter.
Bandwidth of Signal and Transmission Medium:
Range of frequency used for information signal:
Bandwidth
Speech Signal 300Hz- 3100Hz. 2800Hz
Music Signal. 20Hz - 20,000Hz 20,000Hz
Video Signal 4.2 MHz
TV Signal 6 MHz
Antenna Size:
𝜆
Length is comparable to wavelength of the signal. 𝑙 ≥

Q) In a line of sight radio communication, a distance of about 50 km is kept
between the transmitting and receiving antennas. If the height of the
receiving antenna is 70 m, then the minimum height of the transmitting
antenna should be ( Radius of the Earth = 6.4 x 106 m).
a) 20 m
b) 51 m
c) 32 m
d) 40 m

Need for modulation:
Modulation and Carrier wave:
Types of Modulation:
Let c(t)= Ac sinωct represent carrier wave and m(t)=Am sinωmt represent the
message or the modulating signal where ωm = 2πfm is the angular frequency of
the message signal.
modulated signal cm (t)
Here ωc – ωm and ωc + ωm are respectively called the lower side and upper
side frequencies.
Amplitude Modulation:
