ELCTIVE

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies that range from approximately 500 MHz to 300 GHz or more.

The wavelengths for microwave frequencies, which is than infrared energy.

The name given to microwave signals, because of their inherently high frequencies, have short wavelengths. “Microwave” waves

Each frequency is divided in half with the lower half identified as the low band and the upper half as narrow band.

Communications system used to carry information for relatively short distances such as between cities with the same state.

Microwave systems that is used to carry information for relatively long distances, such as interstate and backbone route applications.

It propagate signals through Earth’s atmosphere between transmitters and receivers often located on top of tower spaced about 15 miles to 30 miles apart.

Advantages of Microwave Radio:

Disadvantages of Microwave Radio:

Propagates signals outside the Earth’s atmosphere and are capable of carrying signals much farther while utilizing fewer transmitters and receivers.
