'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)

What is terrestrial and extra terrestrial noise in radio communication?
Terrestrial noise is noise that originates on the earth. Extra terrestrial noise comes from space.
Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
What wavelengths are used for radio frequency?
In round figures 1 Km (AM broadcast radio) to 0.1 mm (microwave).
What receives radio waves from space objects such as?
Radio telescope, usually a microwave dish with a movable parabolic reflector.
Is wi-fi on a microwave or radio wave frequency?
Microwave is a radio wave.Depending on the country you're operating in and the standard to whichyour Wi-fi equipment operates, you'll be conducting radio communicationaround 2.4 GHz, or 3.6 GHz, or 4.9 to 5.8 GHz.(If you want to be super-technical about it, microwaves are radio waves withfrequencies above 3.0 GHz. This leads to the awkward fact that microwave ovens,operating around 2.46 GHz in the US, don't literally use microwave radiation.)
Can microwave transmission use terrestrial systems?
it is the transmission of microwaves. One person throws a microwave to another person and so on.
What is terrestrial 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
Does microwave transmission use satellites?
Microwave transmission can be achieved via terrestrial or satellite systems
What is an average distance for transmitting terrestrial microwave?
Microwave is "line of sight" It won't go over buildings or the horizon.

Terrestrial noise is noise that originates on the earth. Extra terrestrial noise comes from space.

What are assoicated with terrestrial microwave transmissions?
parabolic dish antennae repeaters transceivers
Which has a higher level of radiation an FM radio station or a microwave?
FM radio station transmit power in kW, while microwave radio only transmit in 1+ W max. New microwave radio transmit power less than 1W.
Which devices are associated with terrestrial microwave transmissions?
Parabolic dish antennae Repeaters Transceivers
What two types antenna used for terrestrial microwave communication?
Virtually all terrestrial microwave communication is point-to-point, using parabolic reflector antennas. A small percentage uses yagi, helical, corner reflector, or flat-plate reflector antennas. Essentially no "omnidirectional" antennas are used in microwave.
What is the very practical frequency being used in terrestrial microwave design at a distance of 30 km?
The very practical frequency being used in a terrestrial microwave design that is at a distance of 30km, is fiber optic transition. This is something not seen in microwaves these days.
What is an microwave in telecom?
The British Telecom microwave network is a network of point-to-point microwave radio links in the UK.
