7-1 GUIDED MEDIA
Guided media, which are those that provide a conduit
from one device to another, include twisted-pair cable,
coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable.

7-2 UNGUIDED MEDIA: WIRELESS
Unguided media transport electromagnetic waves
without using a physical conductor. This type of
communication is often referred to as wireless
communication.
Radio Waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Topics discussed in this section:

7.28
Radio waves are used for multicast
communications, such as radio and
television, and paging systems.
Note

Figure 7.21 Unidirectional antennas
7.30
Microwaves are used for unicast
communication such as cellular
telephones, satellite networks,
and wireless LANs.
Note
7.31
Infrared signals can be used for short-
range communication in a closed area
using line-of-sight propagation.
Note
Questions
 Define Transmission Media. [2]
 List the applications of guided and unguided media. [6]
 What is the principle of refraction? Write a short note on Fiber
optics. Clearly state its types, advantages and disadvantages.
[6]
 Provide the classification of Transmission media. Explain in
detail each one of them. [10]
 Explain physical description and application of Microwave,
Broadcast Radio and Fiber optics. [10]
 Explain the types of guided and unguided media with suitable
diagrams. [10]
 Discuss in detail about the physical description, application
and transmission characteristics of the guided Media. [10]
