________ is the process of exchanging information.

In electronic communication systems, which of the following is referred to as the intelligent signal or the information?

______ is a collection of electronic components and circuits designed to convert the electrical signal to a signal suitable for transmission over a given communication medium.

_____ is the general term applied to any phenomenon that degrades or interferes with the transmitted information.

In electronic communication, _____ are circuits/units that incorporate both send and receive functions.

______, or degradation, is inevitable in electronic communication no matter what the medium of transmission. It is proportional to the square of the distance between the transmitter and receiver.

A ____ is a collection of electronic components and circuits that accepts the transmitted message from the channel and converts it nack to a form understandable by humans.

The _____ is the medium by which the electronic signal is sent from one place to another.

These are widely used today to carry long-distance calls and all internet communications. The information is converted to digital form that can be used to turn a laser diode off and on at high speeds.

The simplest way in which electronic communication is conducted is one-way communications, normally referred to as _____.

People communicating with one another over the telephone can talk and listen simultaneously. This is called _____ communication.

In _____ communication, the communication is two-way, but the direction alternates: the communicating parties take turns transmitting and receiving.

______ is a smoothly and continuously varying voltage or current.

These type of signals do not vary continuously but change in steps or in discrete increments.

The baseband information signal, be it audio, video, or data, is normally used to modulate a high-frequency signal called a _______.

______ is the process of having a baseband voice, video, or digital signal modify another, high-frequency signal, the carrier.

Electromagnetic signals which are able to travel through space for long distances are also referred to as _____ waves.

_____ is the encoding of information in a carrier wave by varying the instantaneous frequency of the wave.

________ is the process of allowing two or more signals to share the same medium or channel.

_____ is the process in which the amplitude of the carrier waves varies linearly with message signal.
