Microwave signals travel in straight lines, requiring an unobstructed line of sight between the transmitting and receiving antennas. Any physical obstacles like buildings, mountains or tall vegetation can disrupt the signal, limiting the range and coverage. Microwave signals are typically limited to relatively short distances, especially in the Earth's atmosphere. As frequency increases, atmospheric absorption and scattering become more significant, reducing signal range.
Microwave bands used for communication are shared with various other services and applications. Interference from other microwave sources, weather conditions or atmospheric phenomena can degrade signal quality and reliability. Microwave signals can be vulnerable to interception, especially in urban environments where eavesdropping equipment can be more easily concealed. Encryption and security measures are essential to protect sensitive data transmitted via microwaves.
The global microwave transmission equipment market is segmented based on network technology, component, frequency band, mounting, application and region.
