Microwave Transmission
1. What is meant by LOS?
LOS stands for Line of sight. It means a clear path free of any obstacles, between Transmission and reception of Microwaves.
2. What is a Link?
Link is a connection of two fixed microwave sites by a LOS path.
3. Microwave Transmission is a wireless communication?
Microwave is a LOS wireless communication.
4. Is Microwave Transmission faster than Fiber Optic?
Fiber Optic cables transmit data at a speed of Light so they are much faster than a microwave.
5. Why Microwaves are used for long-distance transmission?
Microwaves have high-frequency signals, so they can transmit signals over a long distance without a loss of data.
6. Microwaves are faster than Radio waves?
Yes, Microwaves are faster than Radio waves.
7. What is Modulation?
Modulation is the practice of encoding large amounts signals of data into carrier signals to allow Transmission.
8. What makes Microwaves suitable for Transmitting signals to satellites?
Microwaves can easily be focused into narrower beams thus allowing frequency reuse suitable, so this makes Microwaves suitable for transmitting signals to satellites.
9. What are the components of Microwave Transmission?
The components of Microwave Transmission are :
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Transmission lines
- Antennas
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.
