Shannon and Weaver Model of Communication - Communication Models
Shannon and Weaver Model of Communication This model of communication was proposed in 1948 by Shannon (Electrical engineer and American mathematician) and Weaver who was an American Scientist. They both together wrote an article called as "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", more popularly known as the "Shannon and Weaver Model of Communication". There are 5 concepts in this model of communication: * Sender is the person who sends the message, basically the source of the message * Encoder is the person or transmitter who uses technical machines to convert the message into binary data or signals * Decoder is the place where signals or binary data is converted back into message. It is the opposite of Encoder * Receiver is the person who gets the message sent by sender * Noise : Physical disturbances caused in environment like crowd noise, horns, thunder etc. or disturbances caused during transmission process. This model was designed for effect...
