Communication is the transfer of information from one place to
another.
This should be done
- as efficiently as possible
- with as much fidelity/reliability as possible
- as securely as possible
Communication System: Components/subsystems act together to
accomplish information transfer/exchange.
Overview
• Two developments in the field of electricity
 First, in 1800, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta invented
the battery
 Second, in 1820, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted
demonstrated the connection between electricity and magnetism
• In May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse transmitted the first public
telegraph message
Brief Chronology of Communication Systems
• DID YOU KNOW “SOS”?

Distress signal
• EARLY FORMS OF LONG-DISTANCE
COMMUNICATION
• 1874 Thomas Edison invented quadruplex telegraphy
• 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone
• 1906 First wireless communication of human speech
• 1936 First television broadcast made in London, England
• 1938-1945 World War II Radar and microwave systems
• 1941 Z3 computer developed by German engineer Konrad Zuse
• 1948-1950 Information Theory and coding. C. E. Shannon
• 1957 Satellite communications begins with Sputnik I. Russia
• 1962-1966 High Speed digital communication
• 1972 Motorola develops cellular telephone.
• 1994 High Definition TV standards agreed on in the U.S.
• 1999 Intel introduces the Pentium III processor, taking personal
computing to new highs.
• 2050 ......??? Tell me where you think we will be in the year 2050

1 Analogue communication
modulation: Amplitude modulation (AM), Frequency modulation
(FM), Phase modulation (PM)
2 Digital communication
modulation: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), Binary Phase Shift
Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)

Elements of a Communication System
Input Transducer: The message produced by a source must be
converted by a transducer to a form suitable for the particular type of
communication system.
Example: In electrical communications, speech waves are converted
by a microphone to voltage variation.
Transmitter: The transmitter processes the input signal to produce a
signal suits to the characteristics of the transmission channel.
Signal processing for transmission almost always involves
modulation and may also include coding. In addition to modulation,
other functions performed by the transmitter are amplification,
filtering and coupling the modulated signal to the channel.
Channel: The channel can have different forms: The atmosphere (or
free space), coaxial cable, fiber optic, waveguide, etc.
The signal undergoes some amount of degradation from noise,
interference and distortion
Receiver: The receiver’s function is to extract the desired signal from
the received signal at the channel output and to convert it to a form
suitable for the output transducer.
Other functions performed by the receiver: amplification (the
received signal may be extremely weak), demodulation and filtering.
Output Transducer: Converts the electric signal at its input into the
form desired by the system user.
Example: Loudspeaker, personal computer (PC), tape recorders.
