This document provides an introduction to communications engineering. It outlines topics that will be covered, including the definition of communication as the transfer of information from a source to a destination using a communication system. Examples of modern communication methods that use electrical signals like satellite, microwave, optical fibers, and copper cables are provided. The course will study the basic communication techniques used today and the systems that implement them, with the goal of understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and the basic construction of the systems. Communication systems can transmit information in simplex, half-duplex, or full-duplex modes.

What Does Communication (or Telecommunication) Mean?
Importance of Communications (by electrical signals) So What will We Study in This Course? Examples of Today’s Communication Methods Simplex vs. Duplex Communications
DR. ALI HUSSEIN MUQAIBEL 2
WHAT DOES COMMUNICATIONS (OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS) MEAN? The transfer of some form of information from one place (known as the source of information) to another place (known as the destination of information) using some system to do this function (known as a communication system). What is the difference between communication and communications?

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATIONS (BY Optical Fibers ELECTRICAL SIGNALS) Teleconferencing, teleshopping, telebanking, internet, computer networks, mobile,...etc Examples of Today’s Communication Methods coaxial All of the following are electric (or electromagnetic) communication systems Satellite (Telephone, TV, Radio, Internet, … ) Microwave (Telephone, TV, Data, …) Optical Fibers (TV, Internet, Telephone, … ) twisted pairs Copper Cables (telephone lines, coaxial cables, twisted pairs, … etc) DR. ALI HUSSEIN MUQAIBEL 4 WHAT WILL WE STUDY IN THIS COURSE? The basic methods that are used for communication in today’s world and the different systems that implement these communication methods. Upon the successful completion of this course, you should be able to: 1) identify the different communication techniques 2) know the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, 3) show the basic construction of the systems that implement these communication techniques. (Check the syllabus for course description, outcomes and objectives) DR. ALI HUSSEIN MUQAIBEL 5 SIMPLEX VS. DUPLEX COMMUNICATIONS A communication system may transmit information in: Simplex: one direction such as TV and radio Half-duplex: two directions but at different times such as the citizen band (CB) Full-duplex: two directions simultaneously such as the telephone
