What do you think is the best medium for transmission of a signal? Please explain your answer.
Solution
TRANSMISSION MEDIA
The means through which data is transformed from one place to another is called transmission or
communication media. There are two categories of transmission media used in computer
communications.
1. BOUNDED MEDIA:
Bounded media are the physical links through which signals are confined to narrow path. These
are also called guide media. Bounded media are made up o a external conductor (Usually
Copper) bounded by jacket material. Bounded media are great for LABS because they offer high
speed, good security and low cast. However, some time they cannot be used due distance
communication. Three common types of bounded media are used of the data transmission. These
are
UNDUIDED MEDIA
Unguided media, or wireless communication, transport electromagnetic waves without using a
physical conductor. Unguided Transmission Media consists of a means for the data signals to
travel but nothing to guide them along a specific path. The data signals are not bound to a
cabling media and as such are often called Unbound Media.
Signals are broadcast through air and thus are available to anyone who has a device capable of
receiving them. In wireless communication, transmission and reception are achieved using an
antenna. Transmitter sends out the electromagnetic signal into the medium. Receiver picks up the
signal from the surrounding medium.
Wireless transmission can be divided into three groups: radio waves, microwave, and infrared
waves. The section of the electromagnetic spectrum defined as radio communication is divided
into eight ranges, called bands.
These bands are rated form very low frequency (VLF) to extremely high frequency (EHF).
Transmission medium
Unguided medium.
There 4 basic types of Guided Media : Open Wire, Twisted Pair, Coaxial Cable, and Optical
Fiber. Coaxial cable (or coax) carries signals of higher frequency ranges than twisted-pair cable.
A fiber-optic cable is made of glass or plastic and transmits signals in the form of light.
