Physical layer-Transmission media
Transmission media are actually located below the physical layer and are directly controlled by the physical layer.
A transmission medium can be broadly defined as anything that can carry information from a source to a destination
The transmission medium is usually free space, metallic cable, or fiber-optic cable.

In a shielded twisted pair (STP), the wires are enclosed in a shield that functions as a grounding mechanism. This is done to provide greater protection from electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference; however, STP cable is more expensive and difficult to install, compared with UTP.
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is a type of copper cabling used in telephone wiring and local area networks (LANs). There are 8 types of UTP cables --identified with the prefix CAT, as in category -- each supporting a different amount of bandwidth.

Radio waves are used for multicast communications, such as radio and television, and paging systems. They can penetrate through walls.
Highly regulated. Use omni directional antennas
Microwaves are used for unicast communication such as cellular telephones, satellite networks,and wireless LANs.
Higher frequency ranges cannot penetrate walls. Use directional antennas - point to point line of sight
communications Infrared signals can be used for short-range communication
in a closed area using line-of-sight propagation

Wireless Channels
Are subject to a lot more errors than guided media channels.
Interference is one cause for errors, can be circumvented with high SNR.
The higher the SNR the less capacity is available for transmission due to the broadcast nature of the channel.
Channel also subject to fading and no coverage holes.
