PttrPnkn ( talk) 19:04, 29 April 2011 (UTC) Air-born pollen at any rational concentration attenuating noticeably microwave signals must be just another silly urban legend. It is contrary to my 30-year+ experience with microwave links. Citation on pollen affecting microwaves outside the microwave oven is required.
This section is complete gibberish. I don't mean that these tunable devices are nonsense themselves, I just mean that the section makes no sense in English. And, I suspect, this article is also not the right place for it, since tunable devices belong here as much as any other electronic component related to microwaves. I go on to delete that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.24.13.213 ( talk) 01:27, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
This article is wrong microwaves have a relatively large wavelength but a smaller wavelength than radiowaves-in this article it says they have a small wavelength.-- 94.1.177.16 ( talk) 16:57, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
I just marked the article with {{refimprove}} because many facts are unreferenced. Those facts may be mentioned in the multitudinous external links, but I have not attempted to cross-reference. The passage that caught my eye begins, "Though not commonly known," and continues to give a long paragraph of plausible information with no citation. (One could, though I will not, argue that a citation is also necessary for the "not commonly known" assertion, and wouldn't putting the info on Wikipedia go a long way to defeating that ignorance?) Though there are a few references, the entire article looks mostly unreferenced. -- ke4roh ( talk) 10:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
If you read the section on Wireless Power Transmission (WPT), it's pretty obvious that the paragraph "During the Cold War, the US intelligence agencies, such as the National Security Agency (NSA), were reportedly able to intercept Soviet microwave messages using satellites such as Rhyolite.[5] Microwave also used in mobile communication." doesn't belong in that section, as it has nothing to do tith WPT. -- 50.129.254.188 ( talk) 23:41, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
The implications of Steve Pearlman's recent research and patent filings (using a [PCell] concept) could be huge. Regardless whether the 5G or 6G standard will be based on PCells or not, this could very well become the main wireless energy transfer technology present in the lives of civilians/consumers.
So maybe there should exist a section about Patent US8469122 and the potential applications as noted in this excellent summary: http://akbars.net/how-steve-perlmans-revolutionary-wireless-technology-works-and-why-its-a-bigger-deal-than-anyone-realizes.html
Maybe a separate article on the subject or this new pCell protocol and a mentioning on the [List of emerging technologies]? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.88.207.45 ( talk) 09:42, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

There is a section within this article that relates to Microwave POWER Transmission, I feel that this should have its own wiki page. The Main article is actually about Microwave Radio Transmission.
So I Propose that the article be split into two separate ones. Perhaps Microwave Radio Transmission and Microwave Power Transmission? Please comment. kind regards, Read-write-services ( talk) 02:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
I see! I didn't realise that there was an article about Wireless power transmission-thanks for bringing that to my attention, well then I guess that that would be the best place to put this (microwave power transmission) article then. Read-write-services ( talk) 23:20, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
So, Could someone perhaps User:Chetvorno? Please split this article into the two technologies i.e. Microwave POWER transmission (or merge the relevant information into Wireless Power Transmission article) and, Microwave Radio Transmission (links), as I don't have the time to do this myself-However, I will expand etc. the resulting article, once this is done, thanks.

When a number is "of the order of magnitude 40", it's somewhere between 4 and 400 - the difference between miles and kilometres is not significant for a 1-significant-digit approximation of distance expressed with this qualifier. Why change 40 miles to 64 kilometres, and not 64.37336 kilometres? Because there's only 1 significant figure. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 01:49, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Now that microwave power transmission has been removed from the article and it is limited to communication, it seems to me the current name Microwave transmission is overinclusive and ambiguous (actually it always seemed that way to me). Should the article be renamed?
We could move it to the existing redirect Microwave communication. However, "microwave communication" is a gynormous, huge, sprawling subject area, as most modern telecommunication services are using microwaves: microwave relay, cordless phones, cellphones, Wifi, Bluetooth, cable television, communication satellites, interplanetary spaceflight communication, satellite television, television studio backhaul, low latency stock trading, wireless microphones, baby monitors, aircraft transponders, computer data busses, telephone trunklines, amateur radio moonbounce . . . . There's not much all these applications have in common besides microwave frequencies. It would be a lot of work to write an adequate article on microwave communication.
Another idea is to move the article to the redirect Microwave relay. Most of the article is about this already, and my feeling is there could be an article devoted to this subject alone. Microwave relay refers to the historical networks of daisy-chained microwave stations set up on mountaintops after World War 2 by phone companies to transmit telephone calls and television programs between cities. This technology was the ancestor of the zillions of terrestrial microwave dish links you see hanging off office buildings and radio towers today; it's just not called "microwave relay" anymore. Or we could make the article about point-to-point terrestrial microwave data links in general, and include the old microwave relay systems as history. I think I'd prefer one of these latter two ideas, they are smaller and more doable. What does everyone think? -- Chetvorno TALK 05:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
