Communication System

shape Introduction

"Communication is the act of conveying intended meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules." Communication System describes communication exchanges between two stations, transmitter and receiver or between source and destination. Signals or information pass from source to destination through what is called channel. Communication system is a system that describes communication with various hardware and software tools. There is a information source, transmitter, channel, receiver, destination in a communication system. "In telecommunication, a communications system or communication system 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".
