6. Digital Communication System (2) Information Source Generates message signals: Voice, Music, Picture, or Data. Source Encoder Removes redundant information from message signal and is responsible for efficient use of channel. Channel Encoder Adds controlled redundancy and produces sequence of symbols regarding channel specifications. Modulator Represents symbols in waveforms suitable for transmission over the physical media of interest. 6
