microwaves
Answers
Answer:
Microwaves are of two types:
Terrestrial microwave
Satellite microwave communication.
Terrestrial Microwave Transmission
Terrestrial Microwave transmission is a technology that transmits the focused beam of a radio signal from one ground-based microwave transmission antenna to another.
Microwaves are the electromagnetic waves having the frequency in the range from 1GHz to 1000 GHz.
Microwaves are unidirectional as the sending and receiving antenna is to be aligned, i.e., the waves sent by the sending antenna are narrowly focussed.
In this case, antennas are mounted on the towers to send a beam to another antenna which is km away.
It works on the line of sight transmission, i.e., the antennas mounted on the towers are the direct sight of each other.
