2. Claude Shannon
• Born in 1916
• Known as the “Father of Information Theory”
• 1932 –University of Michigan
(1) Electrical engineering (2) Mathematics
• 1937 – Founding both digital computer and digital circuit design
theory
• 1938 – Master Degree ; Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT)

3. • American Mathematician, ”The mathematical theory of
communication”
• Objectives:
– To discover how communication messages could be converted
into electronic signals efficiently
– Identify the quickest and most efficient way to get a message
from one point to another
– How to transmit signals with a minimum error.

4. Shannon’s Elements of
Communication Process
• Information Source
• Encoder
• The channel
• Decoder
• Receiver
• Destination

5. Practical Example of Shannon model communication
Sender : Ryan Gosling
process
“Come Here, I want To See You.”
Encoder : Telephone (Ryan Gosling)
Channel : Cable
Noise : Distraction in voice
(workplace noises)
Reception: Telephone (Assistant)
Receiver : Assistant
Received: “I want” only.

6. The basic chart of Shannon’s theory of
communication
Process Process

7. In-depth communication process
With noise
With multilevel
encoding/decoding

8. What she said:
I like apples. Do you want to go buy some
apples with me?
(while communicating at a farm)
What you heard:
I like apples. Do you want to go burn houses
with me?
