Chapter 1: Introduction to Communication System Collection of electronic devices or circuits that accepts the transmitted signal from the transmission medium and converts them back to their original form . Eg. Earphone or complex electronic receiver. Random, undesired electrical energy that enters the communication system via the communication media (i.e. inserted between TX and RX) and interferes with the transmitted message. Noise: Receiver:
