Classes of transmission media

7.2
GUIDED MEDIA


Guided media, which are those that
provide a conduit from one device to
another, include twisted-pair cable, coaxial
cable, and fiber-optic cable.

Guided media includes:



Twisted-Pair Cable

Coaxial Cable

Fiber-Optic Cable

7.5
UTP and STP cables

7.6
UTP connector: RJ-45

7.20
UNGUIDED MEDIA: WIRELESS


Unguided media transport
electromagnetic waves without using a
physical conductor. This type of
communication is often referred to as
wireless communication.
Unguided media includes :

Radio Waves

Microwaves

Infrared

7.21
Electromagnetic spectrum for
wireless communication

7.22
Propagation methods

7.23
Bands

7.24
Wireless transmission waves

7.25
Radio waves


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

7.26
Omnidirectional antenna

7.27
Microwaves


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.

7.28
Unidirectional antennas

7.29
Infrared


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

7.30
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.
