 Radio wave
Transmission making use of radio frequency is
termed as radio-wave transmission.

Advantages Disadvantages
• It offers mobility • Insecure
• Cheaper communication
• Offers freedom from • Susceptible to
land acquisition rights weather effects.
• Ease of communication
over difficult terrain

 Microwave
Microwave signals are used to transmit data witho
the use of cables. It consist of a transmitter, receive
and atmosphere.
Advantages Disadvantages
• Cheaper • Insecure communication
• Offers freedom from • Susceptible to weather
land acquisition rights effects.
• Ease of communication • Bandwidth allocation is
over difficult terrain extremely limited
• Ability to communicate • Cost of design,
over oceans. implementation and
maintenance

 Satellite
Satellite communication is special case of
microwave relay system. Satellite communication
use the synchronous satellite to relay the radio
signal transmitted from ground station.
Advantages Disadvantages
• Area coverage through • Technological limitation
satellite is quire large. preventing the deployment of
• The lying and large, high gain antennas on the
maintenance is easy and satellite platform.
inexpensive. • Over-crowding
• Heavy usage of • High investment and insurance

attractive.
• High atmospheric losses.
