Optical Fibre: Principle and Working

Science > Physics > Communication > Optical Fibre: Principle and Working The optical fibre is a device which works on the principle of total internal reflection by which light signals can be transmitted from one place to another with a negligible loss of energy. Characteristics of Optical Fibre: It has a large bandwidth.  The optical […]

Communication Channel: Wires, Cables, Optical Fibres

Science > Physics > Communication > Communication Channel: Line Line Communication: Space communication is unguided communication. In this communication channel, there is no physical contact between the transmitting and the receiving antenna. The transmitted signal spreads in all directions. This results in the attenuation of the signal. To avoid the attenuation we use line communication. […]

Satellite Communication

Science > Physics > Communication > Satellite Communication Radio Communication uses ground wave, skywave, and space wave propagation. Ground wave and space wave communication are restricted to small distances, whereas skywave propagation uses frequencies ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. Very high frequency (> 30 MHz) and microwave communication over long distances use a Satellite. […]

Coverage Area of Antenna

Science > Physics > Communication > Coverage Area of Antenna An antenna or aerial is a system of elevated conductors which couples the transmitter or receiver to the communication channel. Thus it is required at both ends i.e. transmitter end and receiver end. The same antenna can be used for transmitting and receiving functions. Expression […]

Communication Channel: Atmosphere

Science > Physics > Communication > Communication Channel: Atmosphere A communication channel is a link connecting a transmitter and a receiver. It is the physical medium which carries the signal from the transmitter to the receiver ideally without any noise or distortion. The atmosphere, optical fibres, parallel wires, coaxial cables, etc. are used as communication […]
