Detailed Report on Communication Channels and Modelling Techniques

This report provides a comprehensive overview of communication channels and modelling techniques, essential for understanding how information flows within organizations and between parties. It categorizes communication media into guided (wired) and unguided (wireless) types, detailing their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. Guided media includes twisted pair cables (STP and UTP), coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables, each with specific applications and performance attributes. Unguided media encompasses radio broadcast, terrestrial microwave, and satellite microwave, highlighting their roles in wireless communication. The report also discusses factors affecting signal transmission, such as noise and electromagnetic interference, and concludes with insights into optimizing channel performance and minimizing signal loss. References to relevant research and patents are provided to support the analysis.
