What limits our ability to

communicate?
• NOISE!!!!!
• Noise: an unwanted, random fluctuation in
the signal
• Without the effects of noise, a message
with infinitesimally small power could be
transmitted over infinitely large distances
• ALL advances in communications technology
are advances to combat the effects of noise
