Tag: Microwave communication Basics

The short wavelengths of microwaves allow omnidirectional antennas for portable devices to be made very small, from 1 to 20 centimeters long, so microwave frequencies are widely used for wireless devices such as cell phones, cordless phones, and wireless LANs (Wi-Fi) access for laptops, and Bluetooth earphones .

Microwave is a line-of-sight wireless communication technology that uses high frequency beams of radio waves to provide high speed wireless connections that can send and receive voice, video, and data information .

The two types of microwave transmission are terrestrial and satellite : Terrestrial microwave transmissions are sent between two microwave stations on the earth (earth station). It is the most common form of long-distance communication.
