What is Receiving?

In a general sense, 'receiving' refers to the process of taking something in, whether it's physical goods, information, signals, or even abstract concepts. Its specific meaning depends heavily on the context. In business and logistics, receiving involves accepting deliveries, verifying contents against purchase orders, and recording the receipt of goods into inventory systems. In communications, receiving refers to capturing signals (e.g., radio waves, data packets) through antennas or other input devices. In computing, it often refers to receiving data from a network or other input source. In electronics, it can refer to a circuit or device designed to receive and process a signal.
