space wave communication

Propagation of EM Waves in Atmosphere - In an Earth environment, electromagnetic waves propagate in ways that depend not only on their own properties but also on those of the environment itself. Since the various methods of propagation depend largely on frequency therefore the c..

All the effects so far described hold true for microwave frequencies, but some are increased, and new ones are added. Atmospheric absorption and the effects of precipitation must be taken into account. So must the fact that at such short wavelengths, everything tends to happen very rapidly. Refrac..

Space waves travel in (more or less) straight lines. But they depend on line-of-sight conditions. So, they are limited in their propagation by the curvature of the Earth, except in very unusual circumstances. Thus, they propagate very much like electromagnetic waves in..

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of wavelength 10 - 3 m and higher. Their frequency range is from a few kHz to nearly a few hundred MHz. The propagation of radio waves through the atmosphere is relevant in all modern forms of communication: radio, televi..

With reference to the frequency range, the radio waves are classified as unde..

Basic Principles of Wireless Radio Communication - Let us now discuss the basic principles of wireless radio communications. We shall mainly concentrate on the principle of amplitude modulation and demodulation. The simplest scheme of wireless communication would be to..

In an Earth environment, electromagnetic waves propagate in ways that depend not only on their own properties but also on those of the environment itself. Since the various methods of propagation depend largely on frequency therefore the complete electromagnetic spectrum is now shown for..

Communication Satellites - Communication satellites are normally geostationary satellites. They have devices called transponder which receive signals from an earth station and transmit them in different directions. The signals in the form of electromagnetic radiation are transmi..

Satellite Communication - It is mainly done through geostationary satellites. These satellites are fitted with special devices. These devices can receive signals from an Earth station and transmit them again in different directions. These special devices are called transponders. A TV tran..

Distinction between Electromagnetic Waves and Matter Waves - The important differences between electromagnetic waves and matter waves are given below: Electromagnetic waves Matter waves Electromagnetic are associated with electric and magn..
