Digital Microwave Communication
George Kizer
The first book to cover all engineering aspects of microwave communication path design for the digital age
Fixed point-to-point microwave systems provide moderate-capacity digital transmission between well-defined locations. Most popular in situations where fiber optics or satellite communication is impractical, it is commonly used for cellular or PCS site interconnectivity where digital connectivity is needed but not economically available from other sources, and in private networks where reliability is most important.
Until now, no book has adequately treated all engineering aspects of microwave communications in the digital age. This important new work provides readers with the depth of knowledge necessary ... Read more
Written in an easily accessible format, Digital Microwave Communication features an appendix of specialized engineering details and formulas, and offers up chapter coverage of:
- A Brief History of Microwave Radio
- Microwave Radio Overview
- System Components
- Hypothetical Reference Circuits
- Multipath Fading
- Rain Fading
- Reflections and Obstructions
- Network Reliability Calculations
- Regulation of Microwave Radio Networks
- Radio Network Performance Objectives
- Designing and Operating Microwave Systems
- Antennas
- Radio Diversity
- Ducting and Obstruction Fading
- Digital Receiver Interference
- Path Performance Calculations
Digital Microwave Communication: Engineering Point-to-Point Microwave Systems will be of great interest to engineers and managers who specify, design, or evaluate fixed point-to-point microwave systems associated with communications systems and equipment manufacturers, independent and university research organizations, government agencies, telecommunications services, and other users.
