Communication Systems/Wave Propagation

This page will discuss some of the fundamental basics of EM wave propagation.

EM Waves

EM radiation, for the purposes of this book, can be treated like waves. EM waves satisfy the following equation:

$c=\lambda f$

where c is the speed of light (approximately 300,000,000 m/s in vacuum), f is the frequency of the wave, and λ is the wavelength of the wave.
