Communication Models


Exchange of speech or data between parties:
  • Source: generates data, personal computer or telephone
  • Transmitter: transforms & encodes the information into electromagnetic signals
  • Transmission system: a pair of wires or a complex world-wide network
  • Receiver: accepts signal from transmission system and converts it into a form that can be handled by the destination device
  • Destination: takes and uses the incoming data from the receiver
