Unguided Media
Means of transmission that are not bound by a confined pathway are called unguided media, such as radio waves. Let’s discuss them in more detail.
Terrestrial Radio Channels
Radio waves encompass a certain band of the electromagnetic spectrum. They provide many advantages, such as not needing to be physically wired through a building, the ability to cross physical barriers like walls and other objects, and allowing for end ...
