Contributed by: Parkin
  • 1. Communication systems in electrical engineering involve the transmission, reception, processing, and storage of information through electrical signals. These systems play a crucial role in facilitating the exchange of data and messages between different devices and users. Key components of communication systems include transmitters, receivers, channels, and protocols. The design and analysis of communication systems aim to ensure efficient and reliable transfer of information while considering factors such as bandwidth, noise, and data rate. Engineers in this field work on developing technologies such as wireless communication, optical networks, and satellite communication to enhance connectivity and enable communication across various platforms and distances.
