TCM 145 - RF signal (VOACAP)

 

Course Description

Human beings need to communicate in order to express themselves. Communication systems can be Wired or Wireless, and the medium used for communication can be Guided or Unguided. In Wired Communication, the medium is a physical path like Co-axial Cables, Twisted Pair Cables and Optical Fiber Links etc. which guides the signal to propagate from one point to other. Such type of medium is called the “Guided Medium”. On the other hand, Wireless Communication doesn’t require any physical medium, but propagates the signal through space. Since space only allows for signal transmission without any guidance, the medium used in Wireless Communication is called the “Unguided Medium”.

Wireless Communication is one of the fastest growing and most vibrant technological areas in the communication field. Wireless Communication is a method of transmitting information from one point to other without using any connection like wires, cables or any physical medium. If there is no physical medium, then how does wireless communication transmit signals? Even though there are no cables used in wireless communication, the transmission and reception of signals is accomplished with Antennas. Antennas are electrical devices that transform the electrical signals to radio signals in the form of Electromagnetic (EM) Waves and vice versa. These Electromagnetic Waves propagates through space. Hence, both transmitter and receiver consist of an antenna.

Generally, in a communication system, information is transmitted from transmitter to receiver that are placed over a limited distance. With the help of Wireless Communication, the transmitter and receiver can be placed anywhere between few meters (like a T.V. Remote Control) to few thousand kilometers (HF Communication, Satellite Communication).
