Abstract
Microwave Line-of-sight radio is one of the most important and common transmission methods in telecommunications networks. As the microwave radio signals are propagated through the lower atmosphere, they are sensitive to terrain, atmospheric, and climatic conditions. The planning and design of a reliable microwave links are very difficult and require a lot of complex computations. Therefore, not only software implementation is required, but studying the effect of all the different design aspects is very crucial for the telecommunication systems. The software then estimates the path profile, link budget, fade margin, and all other parameters at any place.
This thesis presents the design and implementation of new microwave planning tool with study of all of design parameters. This software is an engineering tool to aid in the design and planning of the microwave transmission links considering the geography, distance, antenna height, transmit power, frequency, temperature, atmospheric effect, pressure, losses, and other factors which affect the microwave line-of-sight radio link.
This tool can design microwave radio links for both TDM and 4G networks. And it is known that the fourth generation of mobile networks needs special capacity requirements in the transmission paths between access and core parts. Therefore, microwave line-of-sight radio links have to be developed to satisfy this increasing capacity demand.
The challenge for microwave transmission in 4G is meeting the capacity and reliability required of this generation of mobile
networks. Hence, this work presents some techniques to achieve the required capacity for 4G networks such as: Wider Co-channels, Millimeter Waves, and Ethernet Frame Suppression and Compression.
