  2. Communications system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_system

    An optical communication system is any form of communications system that uses light as the transmission medium. Equipment consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a communication channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver, which reproduces the message from the received optical signal.

  3. Communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication

    A further topic concerns the question of how communication systems change over time and how these changes correlate with other societal changes. [228] A related topic focuses on psychological principles underlying those changes and the effects they have on how people exchange ideas. [229] Communication was studied as early as Ancient Greece.

  4. Communication physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_physics

    Communication physics aims to study and explain how a communication system works. This can be applied in a hard science way via Computer Communication or in the way of how people communicate. [1] An example of communication physics is how computers can transmit and receive data through networks.

  5. Spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

    Techniques known since the 1940s and used in military communication systems since the 1950s "spread" a radio signal over a wide frequency range several magnitudes higher than minimum requirement. The core principle of spread spectrum is the use of noise-like carrier waves, and, as the name implies, bandwidths much wider than that required for ...

  6. Models of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    Many models of communication include the idea that a sender encodes a message and uses a channel to transmit it to a receiver. Noise may distort the message along the way. The receiver then decodes the message and gives some form of feedback. [1] Models of communication simplify or represent the process of communication.

  7. Optical networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_networking

    Optical networking is a means of communication that uses signals encoded in light to transmit information in various types of telecommunications networks.These include limited range local-area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WANs), which cross metropolitan and regional areas as well as long-distance national, international and transoceanic networks.

  8. Shannon–Weaver model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Weaver_model

    The Shannon–Weaver model is one of the first models of communication. Initially published in the 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", it explains communication in terms of five basic components: a source, a transmitter, a channel, a receiver, and a destination. The source produces the original message.

  9. Communication theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_theory

    Communication theory is a proposed description of communication phenomena, the relationships among them, a storyline describing these relationships, and an argument for these three elements. Communication theory provides a way of talking about and analyzing key events, processes, and commitments that together form communication.
