    Transmission media refers to the medium over which messages are transmitted. There are two main types: guided and unguided media. Guided media transmits signals enclosed within a solid medium like twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, and optical fibers. Unguided media transmits signals through open air like radio waves, microwaves, and infrared waves. Each type of transmission media has advantages and disadvantages for different applications.

    Transmission Media

    BY VIVEK AND VANSH


    XII-A
    Transmission Media

     Transmission media is the medium over the messages are


    transmitted
     A communication channel is also called as medium
    Types of Transmission Media

     Wired/Guided media
     Wireless/Unguided media
    Guided Media

     In this type of media, signal energy is enclosed and guided within a solid medium.
     The guided media is used either for point-to-point links or a shared link with various
    connections.
     In guided media, interference is generated by emissions in the adjacent cables.
    Twisted Pair Cable

     It was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.


     Twisted pair cables have two conductors that are
    generally made up of copper and each conductor has
    insulation.
     These two conductors are twisted together, thus giving the
    name twisted pair cables.
    Advantages Of Twisted Pair Cable

    1. These cables are cost-effective and easy to install owing


    to their compact size.
    2. They are generally used for short-distance transmission of
    both voice and data.
    3. It is less costly as compared to other types of cables.
    Used in telephone lines
    Disadvantages Of Twisted Pair Cable

    1. The connection established using Unshielded Twised Paired


    Cable is not secure.
    2. They are efficient only for a distance up to 100 meters and
    have to be installed in pieces.
    3. These cables have limited bandwidth.
    Coaxial Cable

     A coaxial cable is an electrical cable with a copper conductor and


    an insulator shielding around it and a braided metal mesh that
    prevents signal interference and cross talk. Coaxial cable is also
    known as coax.

    Applications :
    1. Television: Coaxial cable is used in television cable wires.
    Advantages Of Coaxial Cable

    1. Coaxial cables support high bandwidth.


    2. It is easy to install coaxial cables.
    3. Less affected by noise or cross-talk or electromagnetic inference.
    4. Coaxial cables support multiple channels
    Disadvantages Of Coaxial Cable

    1. Coaxial cables are expensive than twisted pair cable.


    2. The coaxial cable must be grounded in order to prevent
    any crosstalk.
    3. As a Coaxial cable has multiple layers it is very bulky.
    Optical Fibers

     Fiber optics, or optical fiber, refers to the technology that


    transmits information as light pulses along a glass or
    plastic fiber.
     A fiber optic cable can contain a varying number of these
    glass fibers from a few up to a couple hundred.
    Advantages Of Optical Fibres

     Transmit data over long distance with high security.


     Data transmission speed is very high
    Disadvantages Of Optical Fibres

     It is very expensive
     Need special care while installation
    Unguided Media

     In the unguided media, the signal energy propagates through a


    wireless medium. Wireless media is used for radio broadcasting in
    all directions.
     Microwave links are chosen for long-distance broadcasting
    transmission unguided media.
     Interference is also a problem in unguided media, overlapping
    frequency bands from competing signals can alter or eliminate a
    signal. 
    Micro Wave

     Microwave is a line-of-sight wireless communication technology that uses high


    frequency beams of radio waves to provide high speed wireless connections that
    can send and receive voice, video, and data information.
     Microwaves are electromagnetic waves which have frequency range between 1
    GHz to 300 GHz.
    Radio Wave

     The radio waves have frequency range from 3 KHz to 1 GHz.


     These waves are easy to generate and these can travel long
    distances.
     These waves are omni directional in nature which means that they
    can travel in all the directions.
     They are widely used for the communication between both indoor
    and outdoor because they have the property that they can penetrate
    through the walls very easily.
    Infrared Waves

     Infraredwaves transmits data through air and can


    propagate throughout a room, but will not penetrate walls.
     It is a secured medium of signal transmission
     For example TV remotes
