What is Signal ???
 Information converted into an electrical form suitable for
transmission is called a signal.
 Signals transmit or carry some type of information. A signal is
anything that is visible, audible, observable or measurable with
the help of some machine. Examples include speech, audio,
light, radio, TV, radar, supersonic, temperature, ECG, EEG,
etc.
 There are two major types of signals; Analog and Digital.
Analog Vs Digital Signal
 Analog signals are continuous variations of Voltage and
Current whereas digital signals are those that have
discrete stepwise value (0 = Low, 1 = High).
Definition of Spectrum
Spectrum refers to the entire range of frequencies
right from the starting frequency (the lowest
frequency) to the ending frequency (the highest
frequency).
 Spectrum basically refers to the entire group of
frequencies.
Bands in the Spectrum
Frequency Band and Bandwidth
 Every signal is associated with a range of
frequencies called the frequency band.
 The difference in the highest and lowest
frequencies in the band is known as the
bandwidth of the signal.
What is the difference between Spectrum and
Bandwidth?
 The difference between spectrum and bandwidth is that spectrum refers to the ‘entirety’
while bandwidth is a ‘sub-section’ of the spectrum. Spectrum refers to the wholesome of the
quantity while bandwidth, on the other hand, is a portion of the entire spectrum.
 Bandwidth is a sub-section of a portion of spectrum.
 Example- difference between spectrum and bandwidth
 If frequencies from 12 MHz up to 40 MHz are allocated for an application, the spectrum
refers to the entire range of frequencies right from 12 MHz to 40 MHz Therefore, the spectrum
is (12 to 40) MHz. In some cases, the entire allocated frequencies may not be used by the
application. So, if only 17 MHz to 20 MHz is used by an application, then, those range of
frequencies used is called the ‘bandwidth’.
 12 MHz to 40 MHz = Spectrum
 17 MHz to 20 MHz = Bandwidth
What is VLSI ???
Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of
creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining
thousands of transistors into a single chip.
VLSI began in the 1970s when
complex semiconductor and communication technologies
were being developed. The microprocessor is a VLSI
device.
VLSI is a successor to large-scale integration (LSI),
medium-scale integration (MSI) and small-scale
integration (SSI) technologies.

System
Information Source
 As we know, a communication system serves to
communicate a message or information. This
information originates in the information source.
 In general, there can be various messages in the form of
words, group of words, code, symbols, sound signal
etc. However, out of these messages, only the desired
message is selected and communicated.
 Therefore, we can say that the function of information
source is to produce required message which has to be
transmitted.
Input Transducer
 A transducer is a device which converts one form of
energy into another form.
 The message from the information source may or may
not be electrical in nature. In a case when the message
produced by the information source is not electrical in
nature, an input transducer is used to convert it into a
time-varying electrical signal.
 For example, in case of radio-broadcasting, a
microphone converts the information or massage which
is in the form of sound waves into corresponding
electrical signal.
Transmitter
 The function of the transmitter is to process the electrical signal from
different aspects.
 For example in radio broadcasting the electrical signal obtained from
sound signal, is processed to restrict its range of audio frequencies (up to 5
kHz in amplitude modulation radio broadcast ) and is often amplified.
 In wire telephony, no real processing is needed. However, in long-distance
radio communication, signal amplification is necessary before modulation.
 Modulation is the main function of the transmitter. In modulation, the
message signal is superimposed upon the high-frequency carrier signal.
 In short, we can say that inside the transmitter, signal processing such as
restriction of range of audio frequencies, amplification and modulation
of signal are achieved.
 All these processing of the message signal are done just to ease the
transmission of the signal through the channel.
The Channel
 The term channel means the medium through which the message travels from the
transmitter to the receiver. In other words, we can say that the function of the channel is
to provide a physical connection between the transmitter and the receiver.
 There are two types of channels, namely point-to-point channels and broadcast
channels.
 Example of point-to-point channels are wire lines, microwave links and optical
fibers. Wire-lines operate by guided electromagnetic waves and they are used for local
telephone transmission.
 In case of microwave links, the transmitted signal is radiated as an electromagnetic
wave in free space. Microwave links are used in long distance telephone transmission.
 An optical fiber is a low-loss, well-controlled, guided optical medium. Optical fibers
are used in optical communications.
 Although these three channels operate differently, they all provide a physical medium
for the transmission of signals from one point to another point. Therefore, for these
channels, the term point-to-point is used.
 On the other hand, the broadcast channel provides a capability where several receiving
stations can be reached simultaneously from a single transmitter.
 An example of a broadcast channel is a satellite in geostationary orbit, which covers
about one third of the earth’s surface.
The Noise
 During the process of transmission and reception,
the signals get distorted due to noise introduced in
the system.
 Noise is an unwanted signal which tends to interfere
with the required signal.
 The noise signal is always random in character.
Noise may interfere with signals at any point in a
communication system.
 However, the noise has its greatest effect on the
signal in the channel.
Receiver
 The main function of the receiver is to reproduce the
message signal in electrical form from the distorted
received signal. This reproduction of the original signal
is accomplished by a process known as the
demodulation or detection. Demodulation is the reverse
process of modulation carried out in transmitter.
Output Transducer
This output transducer converts the electrical
signal into non-electrical physical quantity.
 The electrical quantities such as voltage or
current can be converted into physical quantities
such as sound or light by using this transducer.
Example: Loudspeaker.
Thank You

In other words, we can say that the function of the channel is to provide a physical connection between the transmitter and the receiver.  There are two types of channels, namely point-to-point channels and broadcast channels.  Example of point-to-point channels are wire lines, microwave links and optical fibers. Wire-lines operate by guided electromagnetic waves and they are used for local telephone transmission.  In case of microwave links, the transmitted signal is radiated as an electromagnetic wave in free space. Microwave links are used in long distance telephone transmission.  An optical fiber is a low-loss, well-controlled, guided optical medium. Optical fibers are used in optical communications.  Although these three channels operate differently, they all provide a physical medium for the transmission of signals from one point to another point. Therefore, for these channels, the term point-to-point is used.  On the other hand, the broadcast channel provides a capability where several receiving stations can be reached simultaneously from a single transmitter.  An example of a broadcast channel is a satellite in geostationary orbit, which covers about one third of the earth’s surface.
  • 29. The Noise  During the process of transmission and reception, the signals get distorted due to noise introduced in the system.  Noise is an unwanted signal which tends to interfere with the required signal.  The noise signal is always random in character. Noise may interfere with signals at any point in a communication system.  However, the noise has its greatest effect on the signal in the channel.
  • 30. Receiver  The main function of the receiver is to reproduce the message signal in electrical form from the distorted received signal. This reproduction of the original signal is accomplished by a process known as the demodulation or detection. Demodulation is the reverse process of modulation carried out in transmitter.
  • 31. Output Transducer This output transducer converts the electrical signal into non-electrical physical quantity.  The electrical quantities such as voltage or current can be converted into physical quantities such as sound or light by using this transducer. Example: Loudspeaker.
