Solution

  1. A communication system is one that specifies the exchange of information between two sites.
  2. Communication is the process of transmitting and receiving information.
  3. The following are the seven basic components of a communication system:


3.1 Information Source: The entity to be transmitted is the message or information. It could be in the form of audio, video, temperature, picture, pressure, or any other type of data.
3.2 Signal: The information is carried via a single-valued temporal function. For transmission, the data is transformed to an electrical form.
3.3 Transducer: A device or system that converts one type of energy into another. Physical factors such as pressure, force, and temperature are converted into electrical signal fluctuations using an electrical transducer.
3.4 Amplifier: An amplifier is an electrical circuit or device that raises the amplitude or strength of a transmitted signal.
3.5 Modulator: The underlying communication signal's low frequency and amplitude prevent it from being sent over a long distance, it is superimposed with a high frequency and amplitude wave termed a carrier wave. Modulation is the phenomenon of a message signal superimposed over a carrier wave. The resulting wave is a modulated wave that will be broadcast.
3.6 Transmitter: It is the device that converts the message signal into a format appropriate for transmission and receiving. It's going to be sent out.
3.7 Channel: Medium through which a signal is sent is called as the channel.
