Microwave radio today
Microwave radio has come a long way since Emile Guarini-Foresio experimented with the relay of radio signals with radio repeater stations in 1899. Although a 40-mile (64 km) microwave transmission across the English Channel was demonstrated in 1931, it was the development of radar during World War II that significantly advanced the prospects of microwave radio systems. Today, microwave relay systems are widely used in portable and static radio applications. Some of the many benefits include low operating costs, an effective infrastructure and easy access to the necessary products and services through leading microwave transmission experts like WaveLab Engineering.
What is a microwave radio system?
A microwave radio link is a very unique type of communications system. A beam of radio waves within the microwave frequency range is used to transmit sound, data or video between two fixed points or locations. These sites can be a few feet or several hundred miles apart. However, because radio waves are emitted in straight lines, the locations normally have to be within each others line of sight (LOS). Specially designed directional antennas such as those you can see at www.wavelab.ch are able to greatly concentrate transferable data. This allows data to cover larger distances with minimal transmission power. We also specialise in finding solutions that are custom-designed according to the client's individual needs and can use relay stations to create microwave radio systems where no direct LOS is available.
