'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)
Terrestrial noise is noise that originates on the earth. Extra terrestrial noise comes from space.
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.

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.)
Terrestrial microwave is commonly used for point-to-point communication between two fixed locations, such as in microwave links for telecommunications networks. It is also used for backhaul connections in wireless communication systems and for broadcasting TV and radio signals. Additionally, terrestrial microwave can be utilized for radar systems in weather forecasting and air traffic control.
it is the transmission of microwaves. One person throws a microwave to another person and so on.
Microwave transmission can be achieved via terrestrial or satellite systems
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
Microwave is "line of sight" It won't go over buildings or the horizon.
Tall buildings, trees, hills, mountains, and other large structures can interfere with terrestrial microwave signals by obstructing the line of sight between the transmitting and receiving antennas. These objects can cause signal weakening, reflection, diffraction, or absorption, leading to signal degradation or disruptions. Proper site planning and antenna placement are important to minimize these interferences in terrestrial microwave communication.
