Assignment 2

Define the following terms:

1. Transmitter – It is an electronic device used in telecommunications to generate radio waves to

transmit or send data using an antenna. The transmitter is capable of generating AC radio frequency
current, which is then fed to the antenna, which in turn emits this current in the form of radio waves.

2. Receiver - In the process of communication, “receiver” is the listener, reader or observer, i.e. the
individual (or group of individuals) to whom a message is sent. The receiver is also known as the
"public" or the decoder.
3. Medium – It is a communication channel or system - which information (message) is transmitted
between a speaker or writer (sender) and an audience (receiver). The plural form is media, and this
term is also known as channel.
4. Noise - It is an unwanted signal that interferes with the original message signal and changes the
parameters of the message signal. This change in communication leads to a change in the
message. It is more likely to be imported at the channel or receiver level.
5. Source – A source imagine, create and send messages. The source encodes the message by
choosing only the correct order or the best words to convey the intended meaning, and presents or
sends the information to the audience (recipient).
6. Destination – It is the final stage of the communication system. Usually people at a certain place
are considered as the destination. Destination is the place where people consume information. For
example, if you are watching TV, you are considered the destination.
7. Information - One or more statements or events that are received by a person and have some
value to the recipient. It is also a summarization of data conveyed by the sender to the receiver in a
communication process.
8. Radio wave – This wave is a type of electromagnetic radiation best known for use in
communication technologies, such as television, cell phones, and radio. These devices receive radio
waves and convert them into mechanical oscillations in the loudspeaker to produce sound waves.

9. Electromagnetic wave – This is formed when an electric field comes in contact with a magnetic
field. This is why they are called "electromagnetic" waves. The electric and magnetic fields of an
electromagnetic wave are perpendicular (perpendicular) to each other. They are also perpendicular
to the direction of the electromagnetic wave.

10. Electronics - It is the science concerned with the study of the flow and control of electrons
(electricity), the study of their behavior and effects in vacuums, gases and semiconductors, as well
as devices using use these electrons.
11. Base band - It refers to the original frequency range of the transmitted signal before it is
modulated. Baseband can also refer to a type of data transmission in which digital or analog data is
sent over a single channel, without multiplexing. A baseband unit (BBU) is a baseband processing
unit in a telecommunications system.
12. Modulation - It is the addition of information to an optical or electronic carrier signal. In
electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of changing one or more
characteristics of a periodic waveform, the carrier signal, with the modulated signal usually
containing the information to be transmitted.
13. Demodulation - The process of separating the original or signal information from the adjusted
traffer. In the case of amplitude or frequency modulation, it is a device, called a demodulator or
detector, that produces a signal corresponding to instantaneous changes in amplitude or frequency
respectively.
14. Carrier signal – This wave is modulated with the input signal for the purpose of transmitting
information. This carrier usually has a much higher frequency than the input signal. The purpose of a
carrier is generally to transmit information in space in the form of electromagnetic waves, or to allow
several carriers of different frequencies to share a common physical transmission medium by
frequency division multiplexing. number.
15. Multiplexing - It is a technology that can combine multiple communication signals so that they are
transmitted simultaneously on a single signal medium. Multiplexing can be applied to analog and
digital signals.
16. Electromagnetic spectrum – It is the entire distribution of electromagnetic radiation as a function
of frequency or wavelength. The electromagnetic spectrum includes the range of all electromagnetic
radiation and is made up of many subbands, often called sections, such as visible light or ultraviolet
radiation.
17. Amplitude modulation – A modulation that modulates a wave by varying its amplitude, used
primarily as a means of radio transmission, in which the audio signal is combined with the carrier.

18. Frequency modulation – It is the encoding of information in a carrier by varying the

instantaneous frequency of the wave. FM technology is widely used in computing,
telecommunications and signal processing.
19. Electromagnetic wave – This is formed when an electric field comes in contact with a magnetic
field. This is why they are called "electromagnetic" waves. The electric and magnetic fields of an
electromagnetic wave are perpendicular (perpendicular) to each other. They are also perpendicular
to the direction of the electromagnetic wave.
20. Frequency band – It is a range in the frequency domain, limited by lower frequencies and higher
frequencies. This term can refer to a radio band or a range of other spectrum.
