Recap of Lecture 26

 Guided Media

 Optical Fiber Cable

 Unguided Media

 Radio Frequency Allocation

 Propagation of Radio Waves

Frequency Ranges

 The type of propagation used in radio

transmission depends upon the frequency of the signal

Very Low Frequency (VLF)

Middle Frequency (MF)

High Frequency (HF)

Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

Extremely High Frequency

(EHF)

Terrestrial Microwave

 Microwaves do not follow the curvature of earth

 Line-of-sight transmission

 Height allows the signal to travel farther

Terrestrial Microwave

Antennas

Satellite Communication

 Line-of-sight microwave

communication using satellite

 Satellite acts as a very tall antenna

and a repeater

Geosynchronous Satellites

Satellite Frequency Bands

 Each satellite sends and receives over two bands

  • Uplink: From the earth to the satellite
  • Downlink: From the satellite to the earth
