Solution

Communication:

The communication system is a system that describes the information exchange between two points. The process of transmission and reception of information is called communication.

Components of Communication:

The three essential components of a communication system are:

  • Transmitter:
    • The transmitter modulates the message signal.
    • Modulation is the process of converting a signal into a form suitable for transmission.
    • A transmitter is a telecommunications electrical device that generates radio waves so that data may be transferred or received through an antenna.
    • The transmitter may generate an alternating current of radio frequency, which is then applied to the antenna, which radiates it as radio waves.
  • Channel:
    • A communication channel is a physical transmission channel in telecommunications and computer networking.
    • A channel is a device that delivers data from one or more senders (or transmitters) to one or more receivers.
    • Or in other words, the channel is what connects the output of the transmitter to the receiver input.
  • Receiver:
    • The receiver does the demodulation. Demodulation is the process of recovering the correct message signal.
    • The received signal, which is picked up from the broadcast signal at the channel output, is processed by the receiver to reproduce the original message signal in a recognizable form for transmission.
    • A radio receiver, also known as an FM receiver, is a device that receives radio waves and converts the data carried by them into useable information.
    • The desired frequency waves are caught using an antenna.
