Key Topics to Revise

1

Components of Communication System

  • Essential elements: Transmitter, Communication channel/medium, Receiver
  • Transmitter converts information signal into electrical signal suitable for transmission
  • Communication channel carries the signal (wire, optical fiber, or free space)
2

Types of Signals

  • Analog signals: Continuous variations of voltage/current with time
  • Digital signals: Discrete stepwise values (binary: 0 and 1)
  • Analog signals are single-valued functions of time
3

Electromagnetic Spectrum and Wave Propagation

  • EM waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields
  • E and B fields are perpendicular to each other and direction of propagation
  • Speed of EM waves in vacuum = 3×10⁸ m/s
4

Sampling Theorem

  • Sampling converts analog signal to discrete-time signal
  • Sampling theorem: fs ≥ 2fm (Nyquist criterion)
  • fs = sampling frequency, fm = maximum signal frequency
