Communication System Types
Communication System Types
systems
• TV broadcasting
• Family radio
This personal radio service uses channelized frequencies
around 462 and 467 MHz in the ultra high frequency (UHF)
band.
• Amateur radio
non-commercial exchange of messages and emergency
communication.
Types of Electronic Communication
Analog Signals
• An analog signal is a smoothly and continuously varying voltage or
current. Examples are:
• Sine wave
• Voice
• Video (TV)
Types of Electronic Communication
Digital Signals
• Digital signals change in steps or in discrete increments.
• Most digital signals use binary or two-state codes.
Examples are:
• Telegraph (Morse code)
• Continuous wave (CW) code
• Serial binary code (used in computers)
Digital Signals
Therefore, all the signals get mixed together and a receiver can not separate
them from each other .
Hence, if each baseband sound signal is used to modulate a different carrier then
they will occupy different slots in the frequency domain (different
channels). Thus, modulation avoids mixing of signals .
Improves Quality of Reception
With frequency modulation (FM) and the digital communication techniques such
as PCM, the effect of noise is reduced to a great extent .
This improves quality of reception
