1. Information Source: The source originates the message that needs to be transferred.,it can be speech, image, video, text etc.
2. Input Transducer: It is a device that converts a non-electrical data into an electrical waveform known as baseband or message signal. An example of this is microphone which converts audio input like speech to an electrical signal.
3. Transmitter: The transmitter modifies the baseband signal for efficient transmission. In general, the transmitter modulates or changes some parameter say, amplitude, frequency or phase of a high-frequency carrier signal by low-frequency signal i.e., baseband signal. Transmitter also does multiplexing. 
4. Channel: Channel is the media by which information is sent. It could be wired or wireless (as stated above).
5. Receiver: Receiver reprocesses the signal received from the channel by undoing the signal modifications made at the transmitter end.
6. Output Transducer: The receiver output is fed to the output transducer which converts the electrical signal to its original form.
