Best Answer

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.

What if the difference between fiber optic and satellite communication?

Satellite versus Fiber Optics communication1- Fiber optics communication is quicker but satellite is slow in communication.2- Fiber Optics communication higher bandwidth but Satellite Lower Bandwidth.3- In case of any fault we can easily repair Fiber Optics but Satellite can not be repair.4- Fiber Optics initial Cast is low but Satellite is very High.5- Many People want to communication during jogging, driving, sailing and flying these all possible in Satellite Communication But Fiber Optics not use for them.6- Fiber Optics is Very costly for long range communication but Satellite is low for long range communication.ByMuhammad ShaoibUniversity of Management and Technology ,Lahore, Pakistan

What is radar communication?

Radar communication is electronic communication without the use of wires. Radar communication can be between a ground terminal, like a cell tower, and a satellite. Or it can be between ground towers and also between two or more satellites.

What is microwave and satellite communication?

AnswerThe term microwave is associated to electromagnetic waves of frequency of the order of MHz .Since the energy carried by the wave is directly proportional to their frequency they are of great use in distance communication. For a simple microwave communication system, a radiator ,a reflector and one receiver antenna are essential. As the wave penetrates through the atmosphere a satellite reflector is usually used. Satellites use Microwaves to send signals.

What is terrestrial Radio microwave?

'Terrestrial' microwave is a fancy way to describe a microwave communications link in which the transmitter and receiver are both on the Earth's surface ... on 'terra'. Can you think of a case where that would not be true ? -- microwave communication with the International Space Station -- with the Hubble Space Telescope -- with any space probe that's still alive and don't forget . . . -- the microwave receiver in your car, monitoring several GPS satellites -- the microwave receiver on your house, receiving TV from a satellite (and the microwave link that sends the TV channels up TO the satellite)

Why vacuum tubes are not preferred at microwave?

Actually three special purpose vacuum tubes were specifically designed for microwave usage and are in some cases still the least expensive way to work with high power microwave signals.These vacuum tubes are:cavity magnetron (first designed in WW2 for use in military RADARs, still used in some RADAR systems and as the microwave radiation source in all microwave cookers)klystron (still used in satellite communication, medical microwave equipment, and particle accelerators)traveling wave tube (still used in satellite communication, RADAR systems, and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing industry for immunity testing of electronic devices)
