Characteristics of Microwave Transmission
- Microwaves are unidirectional.
- Microwave transmission Involves line-of-sight (LOS) communication technology.
- Affected greatly by environmental factors like rain fading.
- Microwaves cannot penetrate through obstacles such as hills, buildings, and trees due to their high frequency.
- Signals can be degraded during Solar proton events.
- Atmospheric disturbances such as rain and snow can scatter microwave signals.
Microwave Transmission
Microwave is a part of the electromagnetic Spectrum. Their frequency ranges from 300 MHz to 300 GHz, which corresponds to wavelengths of 1 mm to 30 cm. Sending and receiving information by microwaves is known as Microwave Transmission. Microwaves come under Unguided or wireless transmission media.
The repeaters form a network known as a microwave relay network. But these systems are used only in special roles as they are very expensive. These technologies such as wireless networks, and broadcast satellites broadcast television and radio directly into consumers’ houses. Microwaves can also be used for wireless power transmission.
