Greetings !
I just saw your post here. Microwave (X-Band) transmitters use 'dish' type antennas and higher power transmitters use 'waveguide' instead of coaxial cable to feed the transmitter's output to the antenna. Microwave transmissions are purely line of sight although passive reflectors are frequently used to bounce or reflect the transmitter's signal from Point A to Point B. Microwave frequencies are measured in Gigahertz. Military X-Band microwave is typically 7.9 ~ 8.4 GHz. Typical X-Band transmitters utilize Klystron or TWT (Travelling Wave Tube) RF Power Amplifiers. If you have any other questions I would be happy to help you. I served with the U.S. Army DOD for 20 years as an X-Band technician repairing and overhauling high power (1000 Watt) RF Power Amplifiers and High Voltage Power Supplies.
