TYPES
GUIDED MEDIA• Transmission of
broadcasted information within physical boundary
• Example :
Fiber optics, twisted pair cable, coaxial cable
UNGUIDED MEDIA• Data transmission
through air • It is also referred as
wireless• Example :
Microwave, radio communication satellite etc

DIFFERENCE
• GUIDED MEDIABounded media Physical media Data transmission
through cabling media
Specific path of data signals
UNGUIDED MEDIAUnbounded mediaWireless Data transmission
through air No specific path of
data signals

COAXIAL CABLE
Fig :layers surround the inner conductor
Long distance transmissionCenter wire surrounded by insulationInner conductor surrounded by 3 layers80 times greater bandwidth then twisted pair Used in T.V cables,LAN,telephone lines

TWISTED PAIR CABLE
Two wires twisted around each otherInsulating copper wireLess bandwidth than otherTwisting reduce electromagnetic interference Two types of cablesShielded twisted pairUnshielded twisted pair cable

COMMUNICATION SATELLITE
Earth station send signalsSpace station receive signalsSignals retransmitted to earth stationSignals microwave formHigh speed of data transmissionBroadcasting, mobile phones ,weather tracking etcExpensive installation

RADIO WAVES
• Radio is transmission of radio signals at less than frequency of visible light
• Directed Waves• Noise Concurrency• Radio Wave's Directness• Unlimited Range • Interference
