The goal Planning covers network configuration, capacity, antenna types, devices and diversity. Performance and unavailability evaluation. Calculations of system interference and frequency planning. Wave propagation in the atmosphere and its impact on the performance of digital radio relay systems. The main purpose is to achieve a reliable transmission system that meets the specified objectives.
The outcome Students should gain an insight into ways of designing of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems. Also, they should be able to carry out all phases of microwave system design procedure.
Contents
Contents of lectures Path analysis. Antennas. Passive relay stations. Performance and availability predictions and objectives. Co-channel operation and cross-polar interference.
