1. Find the meaning of the following:

a. Communication
-a system for transmitting or exchanging information.
-process of conveying meaningful information. It requires a sender,
a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be
present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of
communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in
time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties
share an area of communicative commonality. The communication
process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the
sender.
-process of exchanging information.
b. Electronic Communication
- send an electronic message with an interface, and read messages from
remote distances by accessing any standard source of communication.
- is the transmission, reception and processing of information between two
or more locations using electronic circuits.

c. Electronic Communication System

-an electronic system that
is a collection of individual
communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary
stations, and data terminal equipment (DTE) usually capable
of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. The
components of a communications system serve a common purpose, are
technically compatible, use common procedures, respond to controls, and
operate in unison.
- facility consisting of the physical plants and equipment for disseminating
information

2. Draw/Sketch the basic block diagram of an electronic communication system

a collection of electronic
components and circuits
that converts the
electrical signal into a
signal suitable for
transmission over a given
medium. Transmitters
are made up of
oscillators, amplifiers,
tuned circuits and filters,
modulators, frequency
mixers, frequency
synthesizers, and other
circuits Transmitter

Communication
channel
the medium by which the
electronic signal is sent
from one place to another.
Types of media include
electrical conductors,
optical media, free space,
system-specific media for
example water which is the
medium for sonar

a collection of electronic
components and circuits
that accepts the transmitted
message from the channel
and converts it back into a
form understandable by
humans. Receivers contain
amplifiers, oscillators,
mixers, tuned circuits and
filters, and a demodulator or
detector that recovers the
original intelligence signal
from the modulated carrier

Receiver

Noise
- is random, undesirable electronic energy that enters the communication system via the
communicating medium and interferes with the transmitted message.
Transceiver
- is an electronic unit that incorporates circuits that both send and receive signals.
