Transmission media (wires and no wires) Transmission media:  Guided media, the waves are guided along a physical path; examples of guided media are twisted pair, coaxial cable, and optical fiber.  Unguided media, also called wireless, provide a means for transmitting electromagnetic waves but do not guide them; examples are propagation through air, vacuum, and seawater.

نظام المحاضرات الالكترونينظام المحاضرات الالكتروني  Magnetic Media One of the most common ways to transport data from one computer to another is to write them onto magnetic tape or removable media (e.g., recordable DVDs), physically transport the tape or disks to the destination machine, and read them back in again. A. PC => recordable DVD => another PC; B.Ultrium tape: 200 gigabytes; A box (60X60X60 cm) can hold about 1000 of these tapes =>200 terabytes or 1600 terabits (24 hours by Federal Express, 1600 terabits/86400 sec = 19Gbps => if one hour away => 400Gbps. C.Cost less than 5000 USD for 200 TB => less than 3 cents for 1GB

نظام المحاضرات الالكترونينظام المحاضرات الالكتروني  Radio Transmission (a) In the VLF, LF, and MF bands, radio waves follow the curvature of the earth. (b) In the HF band, they bounce off the ionosphere.

نظام المحاضرات الالكترونينظام المحاضرات الالكتروني  Microwave Transmission Microwaves have much bandwidth and are widely used indoors (WiFi) and outdoors (3G, satellites) – Signal is attenuated/reflected by everyday objects – Strength varies with mobility due multipath fading, etc.

نظام المحاضرات الالكترونينظام المحاضرات الالكتروني  Infrared and Millimeter Waves infrared and millimeter waves: are widely used for short-range communication. The remote controls used on televisions, VCRs, and stereos all use infrared communication.
