Unguided Media
An unguided transmission transmits the electromagnetic waves without
using any physical medium. Therefore it is also known as wireless
transmission In unguided media, air is the media through which the
electromagnetic energy can flow easily.
Types of unguided media:
Radio waves
Microwaves
Satellite
Infrared
Radio waves:
Radio waves have frequencies between 10 kHz and 1GHz.
Radio waves for the most part,are omni directional.
This means that the sending and receiving antennas do not have to be aligned.
Radio waves,particularly those waves that propagate in the sky mode,can travel
long distances.
This makes radio waves a good candidate for long distance broadcasting such as
AM radio.
Speed: electromagnetic waves of any kind are the fastest things in the universe.
Signal-to-noise ratio: radio waves can be used to communicate with deep space
probes. Visible or infrared radiation is not up to the task because such a
communication system would have to outshine the sun.
High power is readily available: The magneto in a microwave oven is inexpensive
and can produce about 1 kW of output. Long wave broadcast and communications
transmitters have been built that produce over a million Watts. There are
frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as the “tera Hertz gap,” where it
is not (yet) feasible to produce this kind of power.
Can penetrate obstacles that are opaque to visible light and infrared.
Low photon energy is safer for living beings than ultraviolet radiation or x-rays.
Microwaves:
Electromagnetic waves having frequencies between 1 and 300 GHz are called
microwaves.
Microwaves are unidirectional.
When an antenna transmits microwave waves, they can be narrowly focused.
This means that the sending and receiving antennas need to be aligned.
A pair of antennas can be aligned without interfering with another pair of aligned
antennas.
Microwave propagation is line-of-sight.
Since the towers with the mounted antennas need to be in direct sight of each other,
towers that are far apart need to be very tall.
Repeaters are often needed for long distance communication.
The microwave band is relatively wide, almost 299 GHz.
Therefore wider sub bands can be assigned, and a high data rate is possible.
Advantages :
Support larger band with and hence more information is transmitted.
More antenna gain is possible.
Higher data rates are transmitted as the band with is more.
Antenna size gets reduced, as the frequencies are higher.
Low power consumption as the signals are of higher frequencies.
Satellite:
The process of satellite communication begins at an earth station.
Here an installation is designed to transmit and receive signals from a satellite in
orbit around the earth.
Earth stations send information to satellites in the form of high powered, high
frequency (GHz range) signals.
The satellites receive and re transmit the signals back to earth where they are
received by other earth stations in the coverage area of the satellite.
The transmission system from the earth station to the satellite through a channel is
called the uplink.
The system from the satellite to the earth station through the channel is called the
downlink.
Two stations on earth want to communicate through radio broadcast but are too far
away to use conventional means.
The two stations can use a relay station for their communication. One earth station
transmits the signal to the satellite.
Advantages :
It id used for mobile and wireless communication applications independent of
location .
It covers wide area of the earth hence entire country or region can be covered with
just one satellite .
It provides wider bandwidth based on SCPC or MCPC allocation types.
Infrared:
Infrared waves, with frequencies from 300 GHz to 400 THz
(wavelengths from 1 mm to 770 NM), can be used for short-range
communication.
Infrared waves, having high frequencies, cannot penetrate walls.
When we use our infrared remote control, we do not interfere with the
use of the remote by our neighbors.
However, this same characteristic makes infrared signals useless for
long-range communication.
In addition, we cannot use infrared waves outside a building because
the sun's rays contain infrared waves that can interfere with the
communication.
Advantages:
Lower extinction. Interstellar extinction is a very steep function of
wavelength. ...
The ability to see warm (as opposed to hot) objects. ...
Better spatial resolution under seeing-limited conditions. ...
Unique phenomena. ...
Red-shifted spectral features.
