Why Microwaves
Radio equipments are classified under VHF, UHF & Microwaves.
VHF and UHF radios used when few circuits are needed and
narrow bandwidth.
Earlier equipments were large in size and use Analog Technology.
Recently Digital Radio with better efficiency is being used.
Hand-held cell-phones
Operating at 30 cm wavelength
Microwave Use
Lower
Microwave Systems
Microwave communication is line of sight radio communication
For directive antennas, or broadcasting with omi-directional antennas
Radio Transmission: the speech signals are converted to EM
Power is transmitted in space towards destination
EM waves are intercepted by receiving antennas and signal
power is collected
Types of Antennas
Antennas used can be:
Omni-directional-in this case radio power is transmitted
Uniformly in all directions
Such type of antenna are preferred where uniform coverage
is desired such as in cellular systems.
Directional: in case of UHF communication.
Highly directional: in case of microwave communications,
microwave signals are transmitted in very narrow beam.
Normally 3 M Diameter Antenna at 2 GHz BW has half power
of about 3.4 degrees beam width.
