OVERVIEW

Communication systems enable transmitting information (such as sound, image, or message) from a source to a receiver. These systems transmit the information from the sender through a specific channel, and the receiver processes this information.

A basic communication system consists of three main components: the transmitter, the channel, and the receiver. The transmitter converts the information into a transmittable format, the channel carries the information, and the receiver decodes and interprets it.

Today, these systems operate through both wired and wireless channels, leveraging digital technologies to facilitate fast and reliable data transmission.
