The study course is designed to gain knowledge about the planning and design of microwave telecommunication systems, frequency bands used for radio lines, microwave propagation, calculation of the radio line equation and other factors that have to be taken into account when designing a microwave link. The course also includes an overview of the relevant ITU-R recommendations and their practical application in the design of a microwave link.
Course contents:
- Radio line equation
- Refraction of radio waves propagating in the atmosphere
- The effect of multipath radio waves propagation
- The role of K-factor and its variability
- Reflection from the ground
- Atmosphere and rain attenuation
- ITU-R recommended frequency plans
- ITU-R quality calculation
- Course Project (Microwave radio link design)
