SUMMARY
Waveforms must be compatible with transmitting channels to ensure effective communication. Transmission mediums, such as coaxial cables and waveguides, have specific cutoff frequencies that limit the range of frequencies that can be transmitted. For instance, coaxial cables exhibit significant loss at higher frequencies, while waveguides are ineffective for lower frequency electromagnetic signals. Understanding these limitations is crucial for optimizing waveform transmission.
