Propagation of Radio Waves
The type of propagation used in radio
transmission depends upon the frequency of the signal
Microwaves do not follow the curvature of earth
Line-of-sight transmission
Height allows the signal to travel farther
Line-of-sight microwave
communication using satellite
Satellite acts as a very tall antenna
and a repeater
Each satellite sends and receives over two bands
