Microwave Test Bench

In Principal Microwave Communication technology is increasingly being used for point to point communication which means connection between two nodes or endpoints. As the Microwave frequencies are higher they can be conveniently used for broad bandwidth and higher data transmission rates with small size antennas because its size is inversely proportional to the frequency being transmitted. With the advent of microwaves during mid 20th century, long distance wireless telephony became possible as FDM (frequency division multiplexing) was used to transmit multiple telephone channels via microwave repeater stations as far as 70 Km away. The Microwave Test Bench is used to study similar characteristics of microwave communication in the controlled environment of microwave communication lab to understand the propagation fundamentals such as line of sight communication, troposcatter, attenuation loss and so on.
