Analog and Digital Communication
Communication is the most important virtue of mankind which consequently makes the study of this branch imperative. Communication is studied in two divisions, namely Analog communication and Digital Communication. In this module, Analog communication is taken under consideration which explains how communication carries out in continuous form. It includes the concepts of modulation and its types, Radio Transmitters and how noise affects the information signal. Important concepts have been elucidated by using flash files. The subject helps developing the foundation for higher semester communication related subjects.
