Transmission paths: transmission paths also called transmission channel is the path between two nods of a network that a data communication follows. The term can refer to the physical cabling that connects the nodes on a network the signal that is communicated over the path way or a sub channel is a carrier frequency.
Ground waves: ground waves are radio wave which reaches a receiver from a transmitter directly with out reflection from the ionosphere.
Sky waves: a radio wave that is reflected back to earth by the ionosphere or a communications satellite; permits transmission around the curve of the earth's surface
Line of propagation: is the electro-magnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation. Electromagnetic transmission light travels in a straight line. The rays or waves can be diffracted, refracted, reflected, or absorbed by atmosphere and obstructions with material and generally cannot travel over the horizon or behind obstacles. Ground waves: A surface of simultaneous and equal displacement of the particles composing a wave of vibration.
Space wave: The component of a ground wave that travels directly through space from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna; one part of the space wave goes directly from one antenna to the other; another part is reflected off the earth between the antennas.
Plane Polarised: a type of polarization in which the electric vector of waves of light or other electromagnetic radiation is restricted to vibration in a single plane.
AM: amplitude modulation is the encoding of a carrier wave by variation of its amplitude in accordance with an input signal.
FM: frequency modulation: The encoding of a carrier wave by variation of its frequency in accordance with an input signal.
VHF: very high frequency.
DAB: digital audio broadcasting: a system of broadcasting sound and written information using electronic signals that represent a series of the numbers 0 and 1.

    6. Modulation Speed: (1) Coding of information onto the carrier frequency. Types of modulation include amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation (PM). (2) When light is emitted by a medium, it is coherent, meaning that it is in a fixed-phase relationship within fixed points of the light wave. The light is used because it is a continuous, or sinusoidal, wave (a white or blank form) upon which a signal can be super imposed by modulation of that form. The modulation is a variation imposed upon this white form, a variation of amplitude, frequency, or phase of the light. There are two basic forms of this modulation: one by an analog form, another by a digital signal. This signal is created in the form of the “intelligence” and superimposed…

    Skywaves are interferences that intervene with other radio signals. They are radio signals that rebound under certain conditions, affecting stations around sunset. Many stations do not benefit from the phenomenon, although, some may. It can benefit or obstruct AM and FM radio signals, however, FM may not be affected as much as AM to the constraints after sunset due to its limited direct wave signal. So due to the skywave phenomenon, some AM stations need to sign off around sunset.…

    The technology in which the parameters such as amplitude, phase and frequency of radio frequency waves are changed so as to transmit and receive the information is known as RF technology or radio frequency technology. In this, the electromagnetic waves that lie in the range of 3 khz to 300 Ghz are used for the wireless communication between the two devices. The signal is modulated at the transmitter end and then the antenna converts this electrical signal into the radio waves and emits them. The medium in which they travel is space. The receiving antenna catches the waves at the receiving end and then the signal is demodulated and converted back to its original form. These waves are highly affected by the interference…

    We know that electromagnetic radiation is produced by accelerating charges. In the radio transmitter, electrons oscillate up and down and are thus accelerating. An electron will exert a force on another electron when they are some distance away, like charges repel. When the electron in the transmitter oscillates up and down, the direction of the force it exerts changes since the source of the force is moving. It takes some time for the change in this direction of the force to be felt since this change is communicated or propagated out at the speed of light. In addition, the horizontal component of this force is canceled by the positive charges in the transmitting antenna. So, the resulting force is an oscillating force that pushes vertically on electrons. This force propagates out as a wave as the signal travels at the speed of light.…

    Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) ([pic] /ˈkwɑːm/ or /ˈkæm/ or simply "Q-A-M") is both an analog and a digital modulation scheme. It conveys two analog message signals, or two digital bit streams, by changing (modulating) the amplitudes of two carrier waves, using the amplitude-shift keying (ASK) digital modulation scheme or amplitude modulation (AM) analog modulation scheme. The two carrier waves, usually sinusoids, are out of phase with each other by 90° and are thus called quadrature carriers or quadrature components — hence the name of the scheme. The modulated waves are summed, and the resulting waveform is a combination of both phase-shift keying (PSK) and amplitude-shift keying (ASK), or (in the analog case) of phase modulation (PM) and amplitude modulation. In the digital QAM case, a finite number of at least two phases and at least two amplitudes are used. PSK modulators are often designed using the QAM principle, but are not considered as QAM since the amplitude of the modulated carrier signal is constant. QAM is used extensively as a modulation scheme for digitaltelecommunication systems. Spectral efficiencies of 6 bits/s/Hz can be achieved with QAM.[1]…

    Satellite communication has two main components: the ground segment, which consists of fixed or mobile transmission, reception, and ancillary equipment, and the space segment, which primarily is the satellite itself. A typical satellite link involves the transmission or up-linking of a signal from an Earth station to a satellite. The satellite then receives and amplifies the signal and retransmits it back to Earth, where it is received and re-amplified by Earth stations and terminals. Satellite receivers on the ground include direct-to-home (DTH) satellite equipment, mobile reception equipment in aircraft, satellite telephones, and handheld devices.…
