Microwaves(1-300 GHz) are used for unicast communication such as cellular telephones, satellite networks,
and wireless LANs.Higher frequency ranges cannot penetrate walls.
Use directional antennas - point to point line of sight communications.

TRANSMISSION IMPAIRMENT
Signals travel through transmission media, which are not perfect. The imperfection causes signal impairment. This means that the signal at the beginning of the medium is not the same as the signal at the end of the medium. What is sent is not what is received. Three causes of impairment are attenuation, distortion, and noise.
![Page 35: Overview of Digital Communication](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a1522f1a28abbe3c8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Attenuation
• Means loss of energy -> weaker signal• When a signal travels through a medium it
loses energy overcoming the resistance of the medium
• Amplifiers are used to compensate for this loss of energy by amplifying the signal.
![Page 37: Overview of Digital Communication](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a1522f1a28abbe3c8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Measurement of Attenuation
• To show the loss or gain of energy the unit “decibel” is used.
dB = 10log10P2/P1
P1 - input signalP2 - output signal
![Page 38: Overview of Digital Communication](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a1522f1a28abbe3c8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Figure Attenuation

Suppose a signal travels through a transmission medium and its power is reduced to one-half. This means that P2 is (1/2)P1. Find the attenuation (loss of power)
Example
![Page 40: Overview of Digital Communication](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a1522f1a28abbe3c8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A loss of 3 dB (–3 dB) is equivalent to losing one-half the power.
Solution:
![Page 41: Overview of Digital Communication](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a1522f1a28abbe3c8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
A signal travels through an amplifier, and its power is increased 10 times. This means that P2 = 10P1 . In this case, the amplification (gain of power) can be calculated as
Example

Distortion• Means that the signal changes its form or shape• Distortion occurs in composite signals• Each frequency component has its own
propagation speed traveling through a medium.• The different components therefore arrive with
different delays at the receiver.• That means that the signals have different phases
at the receiver than they did at the source.

Noise• There are different types of noise– Thermal - random noise of electrons in the
wire creates an extra signal– Induced - from motors and appliances, devices
act are transmitter antenna and medium as receiving antenna.
– Crosstalk - same as above but between two wires.
– Impulse - Spikes that result from power lines, lightning, etc.

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
• To measure the quality of a system the SNR is often used. It indicates the strength of the signal wrt the noise power in the system.
• It is the ratio between two powers.• It is usually given in dB and referred to as
SNRdB.
![Page 48: Overview of Digital Communication](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a1522f1a28abbe3c8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The power of a signal is 10 mW and the power of the noise is 1 μW; what are the values of SNR and SNRdB ?

Solution:The values of SNR and SNRdB can be calculated as follows:

The values of SNR and SNRdB for a noiseless channel are
We can never achieve this ratio in real life; it is an ideal.
