Path Reliability in Microwave Transmission
Considering all the path loss factors, we can quantify path reliability, also known as path availability. Due to poor propagation conditions, the path fails to perform and data transmitted from one end is not successfully received at the other end. So Path availability is a measurement of the path’s ability to reliably communicate data over year.
Path’s performance can typically be improved by :
- Increasing overall system gain by increasing power.
- Reducing losses in transmission lines.
- Increasing the size of the Antenna itself.
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.
