Fixed point-to-point microwave radio systems continue to be used for a wide range of industrial and governmental data transmission applications. Long distance microwave radios operating in the 6 to 11 GHz bands are limited by obstruction fading. Short distance microwave radios operating at 11 GHz and above are limited by rain fading. This paper provides powerful design procedures not previously available to the design community outside Bell Labs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
