0 gigahertz (GHz)
to 300 GHz.
These correspond to wavelengths from 30 centimeters down to 1.0 cm
Properties of Microwave
microwaves are limited to line of sight propagation; they cannot pass around hills
or mountains as lower frequency radio waves can.
Antenna gain
Power gain (or simply gain) is a unitless measure that combines an antenna's
efficiency Eantenna and directivity D:
Signal-to-noise ratio
Fibers that support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multi-
mode fibers (MMF), while those that support a single mode are called single-mode
fibers (SMF).
Multi-mode fibers generally have a wider core diameter and are used for short-
distance communication links and for applications where high power must be
transmitted.
Single-mode fibers are used for most communication links longer than 1,000 meters
(3,300 ft)
