Microwave Communication

Microwave radio transmission is frequently used in point-to-point communication systems on the surface of the earth. Mostly it can be used in satellite communications and in deep space radio communications. Additionally, the microwave radio bands are used for radars, radio navigation systems, sensor systems, and radio astronomy. Microwaves are widely used for point-to-point communications since their small wavelength allows conveniently-sized antennas to direct them in narrow beams, which can be pointed straight at the receiving antenna. It allows adjacent microwave equipment to use the same frequencies without interfering with each other like lower frequency radio waves do. The high frequency of microwaves gives the microwave band a very huge information-carrying capability. The microwave band has a bandwidth 30 times that of all the rest of the radio band below it.
