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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of transmission mediums, specifically coaxial cables and waveguides

why waveforms should be compatible with transmitting channel?
What if i send a random wave without having much information about it?

Could you please give more information about your question, and preferably a few examples about the "channels" that you are asking about.

Without knowing more, I would offer that some transmission means have cutoff frequencies. So you may be limited in what frequencies you use. Coax cable is lossy at higher frequencies for example. And waveguides do not pass lower frequency EM signals...
