| description | This paper deals with wave propagation calculation and cost optimization software
development for microwave radio. The software presents a design tool for line of sight
link planning. The main cost factor in a microwave network depends on tower
structure and antenna heights. Antenna heights are normally chosen to overcome the
first Fresnel zone obstruction. A software tool for the analysis and evaluation of a
single microwave relay link has been developed. In addition, cost optimization method
for a microwave radio network involving more than two antennas has been developed.
This paper includes calculations and analysis of the geographical data in the chosen
area in order to determine the effective earth's radius to achieve better optimization.
In addition, terrain profile generation and microwave point-to-point link calculation
was considered |
