DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS

About this Course

Course Description

The transmission of information from the sender to the recipient through some medium is called as communication. Communication enables us to know what is happening around us. It helps us to share our knowledge with others and also gain from other individual’s thoughts and ideas. Communication takes place through various routes and channels and with the help of a medium. A person can chat with his distant relative over the phone and thus the medium of communication in this case is the telephone. Communication can also take place with the help of light. The airport officials give various signals through light to the pilots for their safe landing. In this case communication is through light and hence is termed as Optical communication. Satellites also play a vital role in communication by receiving signals from the earth station, amplifying it and then resending it back to the earth. Communication can take place with the aid of an artificial satellite between two points on the earth. In the same way signal can also be sent in a digitalized form as in case of Digital communication.
