Introduction

Before a microwave link can be installed, an analysis and calculation of the microwave link must be made first. The analysis should take place before the site survey itself to get a clear idea about the dimensions of the antennas. The analysis consists of the following steps:

  • Free space loss calculation

  • Link budget calculation

  • Rain attenuation

  • Multipath fading

  • Fade margin

  • Fresnel zones calculation

This chapter explains the individual steps and an example of link design is given at the end.
