Applied Network Research Group Department of Computer Engineering, Kasetsart University 6/17

UTP

  • Does not include any extra

shielding around the wire pairs

  • Ordinary telephone line and

commonly used for local area network

  • Least expensive, easy to work

and simple to install

  • Subject to external

electromagnetic interference

  • Limited length

STP

  • Covered with a foil shield to

reduce interference and crosstalk

  • Better performance, but

more expensive and difficult to work than UTP

Propagation Modes

  • The wave follows

the contour of the earth

  • All transmissions

below about 3 MHz use to travel

Ground Wave: GW Sky Wave : SW Ionosphere

  • SW makes use of the

reflecting properties

  • f the earth’s

atmosphere for the frequencies in the band 3-30 MHz

Line-of-Sight : LOS

  • LOS is used by

frequencies above 30 MHz

  • The waves travel in a

straight line directly from antenna to antenna

Ionosphere

Applied Network Research Group Department of Computer Engineering, Kasetsart University 12/17

Microwave

  • Transmission between two

ground stations

  • Distance ป 50 km (depend on

the height of antennas)

Satellites

  • Using microwave
  • Receive and retransmit using

transponder

  • Separate frequencies are

assigned for

  • upward transmission (uplink)
  • downward transmission

Geostationary Satellite

  • Used 3 satellites to cover all
  • ver the earth except the

polar extreme (latitudes > 81

  • north or south).
  • The satellites rotate radially

with the surface of the Earth and therefore remain in a fixed position relative to ground station 24 hours a day.
