2 Analog Communication
Information: The idea or message that is to be conveyed Analog communication is made from two words analog and
is information. The message may be single or a set of communication. Analog refers to the continuous time-varying
signal. Communication refers to exchanging information
messages. The message can be a symbol, code, group of
between two or more than two sources. Analog

Demodulation is the process of extracting the audio
