Microwave Transmission

Microwave signals are used to transmit data without the use of cables. The microwave signals are similar to radio and television signals. Microwaves are used for long-distance communication. In microwave communication parabolic antennas are mounted on towers to send data to other antennas.

Advantages of Microwave

1. It offers ease of communication over difficult terrain.
2. Microwaves have the ability to communicate over oceans.

Disadvantages of Microwave

1. It is an insecure communication.
2. Its propagation is susceptible to weather effects like rains, thunderstorms, etc.
3. Implementation and maintenance cost is high.
4. Bandwidth is limited.
