Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'transmission' (sending signals or data) with 'channel' (a pathway for signals); together they describe a route for transmitting data. Although somewhat technical, there is no idiomatic shift or metaphorical meaning, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Transmission channel is like a road or pipe for signals: transmission means 'sending' and channel means a 'path'. So, imagine messages flowing through that channel like bottles on a stream, and that's why the term means a way that carries data or signals from one place to another.
