7-2 UNGUIDED MEDIA: WIRELESS
Unguided media transport electromagnetic waves
without using a physical conductor. This type of
communication is often referred to as wireless
communication.
Radio Waves
Microwaves
Infrared

Radio waves are used for multicast
communications, such as radio and
television, and paging systems. They
can penetrate through walls.
Highly regulated. Use omni directional
antennas

Microwaves 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.

Infrared signals can be used for short-
range communication in a closed area
using line-of-sight propagation.

Wireless Channels
Are subject to a lot more errors than guided media channels.
Interference is one cause for errors, can be circumvented with high SNR.
The higher the SNR the less capacity is available for transmission due to the broadcast nature of the channel.
Channel also subject to fading and no coverage holes.
