Internet Protocol microwave Radio Flat Fading Threshold and Dispersive Fade Margin measurements

Abstract

This paper proposes new methods for the characterization of critical performance characteristics of fixed point-to-point microwave radios carrying Internet Protocol (IP) traffic. Of particular interest are methodologies for Radio Flat Fading Threshold and Dispersive Fade Margin (DFM) for IP Adaptive Coded Modulation (ACM) radios.
