(A) signals at lower frequencies are omnidirectional (全向); (B) At higher frequencies, it is possible to focus the signal into a directional beam, eg., light beam. in guided media, medium is more important. key concerns are data rate and distance the greater the data rate, the farther the distance. 3/61 Designed by Dr. TAO Hongcai, SIST/SWJTU 第4章 Transmission Media(传输介质) 4.1 Overview 4.2 Design Factor 4.3 Twisted Pair 4.4 Coaxial Cable 4.5 Optical Fiber 4.6 Wireless Transmission 4/61 Designed by Dr. TAO Hongcai, SIST/SWJTU 4.2 Design Factor bandwidth higher bandwidth of a signal gives higher data rate, while all other factors (as follows) remaining constant. transmission impairments (损耗)  eg. attenuation (衰减), limit the distance. For guided media, twisted pair generally suffers more impairment than coaxial cable, which in turn suffers more than optical fiber. interference (干扰) For guided me
