Microwave Transmission
Microwaves can propagate through a guided medium, such as a transmission line, which could be cable or waveguide. They can also propagate through an unguided medium as plane waves in free space and through the atmosphere.
In all networks, selecting a physical medium...
Introduction
The first practical application of microwaves in a communication system took place more than 80 years ago. In the 1930s, an experimental microwave transmission system was used to connect the United Kingdom with France—bridging the English Channel without cables.
In the 1950s, AT&T built...
We begin the microwave radio discussion with "the medium through which electrical and magnetic forces act is called “ ether. ” With the theories as to its composition or construction we are not here concerned. It is, however, by virtue of...
