communication- an incomplete overview
Exchange
Information (and how it differs from Data, Knowledge-Belief-meta Knowledge, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Truth)
Modulation
- m(t)- Modulating Signal (or Baseband Signal or Info. Signal) and c(t)- Carrier Signal
- Continuous Wave and Pulse
- Amplitude, Frequency (or Width) and Phase (or Angle), Code
- Analog: AM, FM, PM, QAM, SM, and SSB
- Digital: ASK, FSK, PSK, QAM
- Spread Spectrum: Direct Sequence, Freq. Hopping, Time Hopping and Chirp
- PAM, PWM (or PDM, PLM), PPM and PCM


Transmitter and Receiver
- Audio
- Power
Multiplexer (Mux) and Demultiplexer (DeMux)
- FDM
- TDM
Modulator and Demodulator (MoDem)
Demodulators are also called as Detectors
