Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver were engineers at Bell Labs who developed a model of communication to maximize efficiency of telephone cables and radio waves. Their model included an information source, transmitter to encode a message, channel to transmit signals, receiver to decode the message, and destination to receive the message. Noise is a dysfunctional factor that can interfere with the message and reduce fidelity. The model helped establish a mathematical theory of communication and is considered foundational to the field.

- 3. Biography Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver were • • engineers working for Bell Telephone Labs in the United States , both of them joined together to write an article in “Bell System Technical Journal” called “ Shannon and weaver model of communication” Their goal was to ensure the maximum efficiency of telephone cables and radio waves. They developed a model of communication which was intended to assist in developing a mathematical theory of communication. Claude Shannon (1916-2001) is considered one of the founding fathers of the communications age. Shannon and Weaver model of communication has been called the “mother of all the models”

- 5. Elements of the model Information source – which produces a message Transmitter- which encodes the message into signals Channel- which signals adapted for transmission Receiver- which decodes the message from the signal Destination- where the message arrives
- 6. Dysfunctional Factor The sixth element is the noise is an dysfunctional factor any interference with the message travelling along the channel which may lead to the signal received being different from that send.

- 9. Examples For the telephone; the channel is a wire, the signal is an electrical current in it, and the transmitter and receiver are the telephone handsets. Noise would include crackling from the wire. In conversation, my mouth is the transmitter, the signal is the sound waves, and your ear is the receiver. Noise would include any distraction you might experience as I speak.
