Radio Waves Propagation
• Ground Waves - < 30 MHZ (Tropospherically Reflected)• Sky Waves – reflected by ionosphere. Short Waves 30MHz – 40 MHz ( Ionospherically Reflected)• Space Wave- > 40 MHZ ( >1000 MHZ also know as LOS )
Ground Waves - suitable for frequencies < 30 M Hz.
Waves travel in troposphere.• Direct Wave.• Ground Reflected Wave.• Tropospherically Reflected Wave.

Basic mechanisms that impact propagation• Reflection: electromagnetic wave impinges upon an object
which has very large dimensions when compared to the wavelength of the propagation wave.– Occurs from the surface of the earth, building and walls.
• Diffraction: occurs when the radio path is obstructed by a surface that has sharp irregularities (edges).– Secondary waves present throughout the space and even
behind the obstacles, giving rise to a bending of waves around the obstacles.
• Scattering: occurs when the medium through which the wave travel consists of objects with dimensions that are small compared to the wavelength, and where the number to obstacles per unit volume is large. foliage, atmospheric impurities.

2.Spectrum Management
12
Overview of Radio Communication
At national level, each administration has its own regulating agency like NTIA/FCC in USA, Ofcom in UK and WPC Wing in India.
WPC- Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing, under DOT,MOC &IT HQ at Sanchar Bhawan New Delhi.
Radio spectrum is divided into spectrum bands that are allocated to specific services, such as mobile, fixed, broadcast, fixed satellite and mobile satellite services on exclusive basis.
Spectrum Management
13
Overview of Radio Communication
In India the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Ministry of Communications & IT, is the National Radio Regulatory Authority responsible for Frequency Spectrum Management, including licensing and caters for the needs of all wireless users (Government and Private) in the country.
The WPC Wing performs its functions through various divisions / groups.
The wireless services is based on National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP) which was made effective from 01.01.2000. The latest one is Draft NFAP 2011.
NFAP is the basis for development, manufacturing and spectrum utilization activities in the country.

Transmission Systems
Bounded media
(Optical Fiber, coaxial cable)
•Bounded media require a physical connection between two points to guide current, electromagnetic wave or light.
Unbounded media
(UHF, VHF, Microwave and Satellite)
Unbounded media needs no such physical connection .

Overview of Radio Communication
OF Vs MW Systems
OF Systems
• Very High Bandwidth

Overview of Radio Communication
What is ?
• WiMAX or “Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access” had its origins in backhaul connectivity using microwave access.
• WiMAX has become a “hot topic” in the wireless industry, with visible and aggressive backing from INTEL, among others.
• WiMAX is designed to provide “last-mile” or “backhaul” connectivity using wireless – “Last-mile” refers to a wireless connection from a major trunk line to a business or residential user
– Using IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) standard, approved in January 2003, to provide operations in the <11GHz spectrum range

Intelligent Transport System(ITS)
• Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are advanced applications which aim to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable various users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks.
• ITS are systems in which information and communication technologies are applied in the field of road transport, including infrastructure, vehicles and users, and in traffic management and mobility management, as well as for interfaces with other modes of transport.

Overview of Radio Communication
Amateur radio (HAM)
Amateur radio (also called "ham" radio) is the use of designated radio frequency spectra
• for purposes of private recreation, • Non commercial exchange of messages, • Wireless experimentation, self-training, and emergency
communication.
The term "amateur" is used to specify "a duly authorised person interested in radio-electric practice with a purely personal aim and without pecuniary interest, and to differentiate it from commercial broadcasting, public safety (such as police and fire), or professional two-way radio services (such as maritime, aviation, taxis, etc.).
53
Overview of Radio Communication
Amateur radio (HAM)
The WPC—regulates amateur radio in India. The WPC assigns call signs, issues amateur radio
licences, conducts exams, allots frequency spectrum, and monitors the radio waves.
In India, the Amateur radio Society of India (ARSI) represents amateur radio interests at various forums.
