What is Microwave Technology?

Terrestrial microwave technologies share with satellite microwave technologies many of the scientific and technical improvements used to accomplish microwave transmissions. They are different in that satellite microwave technolgies seek to neutralize the effects of the atmosphere in the microwave transmissions. On the other hand, terrestrial micowave technologies seek the aid of atmospheric effects on microwaves to extend the range limitations imposed by the Earth's curvature. Examples of these terrestrial technologies include those used to exploit troposcattering and meteor-burst in microwave communications--not used at all in satellites. Professor Martinez

What is microwave satellite communication?

It is communication with a satellite orbiting the planet using microwaves, a type of electromagnetic wave of lower frequency than light but higher frequency than radio waves. Microwaves are often used in this way as they can penetrate the earth's atmosphere, but can travel a long enough distance to reach the satellites, unlike x ray waves.
