A microwave link is a communications system that uses a beam of radio waves in

the microwave frequency range to transmit information between two fixed locations on
the earth. They are crucial to many forms of communication and impact a broad range
of industries.

Designing line of sight (LOS) microwave links requires to consider factors related to
location site, site characteristics, power availability, local zoning restrictions, geological
seismic data, survey of electromagnetic interference, path and site elevation, curvature
of the earth, Fresnel clearances, Height of antenna tower that will be used, reflection
area, Line of sight (LOS), Fresnel zone, Antenna and transceivers that will be used.

Since many factors affects microwave radio signals, it is necessary to consider


those in designing microwave links. Calculations are needed that will give the fade
margin of the link and this will dictate the quality and reliability of the link.

Microwave links provide the bulk of the interconnectivity between sites in


telecommunications networks (especially mobile voice and data networks) because
they are rapidly deployable, relatively small and require less infrastructure outlay than
technologies such as fibre transmission. Typical applications of microwave link includes
mobile backhaul links - between 2G/3G base stations and WiMAX/LTE backhaul links. The
basic components required for operating a radio link are the transmitter, towers,
antennas, and receiver. To achieve point-to-point radio links, antennas are placed on a
tower or other tall structure at sufficient height to provide a direct, unobstructed line-of-
sight (LOS) path between the transmitter and receiver sites. 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. Our analysis consists in this paper consists of free space loss
calculation and Link budget calculation.

A microwave link fundamentally consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The


transmitter and the receiver are each connected to an antenna. This is typically a

1
parabolic dish antenna connected to the transmitter, and also typically a dish antenna
on the receiver. The receiver always needs to be typically within the range of kilometers
of the transmitter, but the distance is very much dependent on the path between the
transmitter and receiver.

This study aims to develop a Line-of-Sight Microwave Link Design :


1. With a minimum distance of 100 miles.
2. Which is located in Visayas.
3. Using the following frequency ranges
3.1 3.4 – 3.8 GHz
3.2 6.425 – 7.11 GHz
3.3 7.9 – 8.4GHz
4. Then calculate the following parameters:
4.1 LOS and attenuation
4.2 Fading and fade margin
4.3 Availability and unavailability
In these conditions:
Unfaded
Faded
Improved (If needed)
The scope of the study is to develop a design that would satisfy the requirements and
standards set forth during the initial stage of planning. It is limited to the calculations
involved in making the design and not with the actual implementation of the microwave
link.

Luzon is mostly known for NCR, but there are other regions that we
have to consider in Luzon. The upper parts of Luzon are full of provinces.
These provinces each have a Barangay Hall. In this study, this Barangay
Halls will be the main benefactor of this communication system. There
were a lot of considerations made for the site selection. First is that it must
have enough space for the antenna towers and shelter. Then it should be
lying around an area with residents. Third is that it should not be 3 miles
near to airports and should not cross large bodies of water such as seas.

Figure 1. Map of Central Luzon

This microwave design will consist of 6 links with 6 sites located in Region 3.
The chosen sites were near Barangay/Municipal/City Halls, which are
supposedly the main benefactors of this design.

Topology is the way the sites will be connected. It is the same to the
Network Topology which is the arrangement of various elements of a computer
network. Figure 2 below shows the topology of the Microwave Link of this study.

The LOS Microwave Link Design formed a bus topology with six links,
connecting the Barangay/Municipal/ stated below.

4. Antenna and Tower Height

 Site 1 ( Bayambang Municpal Hall)


- Tower Height: 295.28
- Antenna Height: 151 feet
Antenna Height = LOSi - Elevation

= 220 – 69 = 151

 Site 2 (Cuyapo Town Hall)


- Tower Height: 295.28
- Antenna Height: 140 feet
Antenna Height = LOSi - Elevation

= 240 - 100 = 140

5. Reflection Point/Area

Ratio of Antenna Heights = 140/151 = 0..93


K-Infinity = 0.45
K-Grazing = 0.47

K-Infinity Value 0.45 x 17 = 7.65

4. Antenna and Tower Height

 Site 1 (Talavera Municipal Hall)


- Tower Height:
- Antenna Height: 106 feet
Antenna Height = LOSi - Elevation

= 261 - 155 = 106

 Site 2 (Gapan City Hall)


- Tower Height:
- Antenna Height: 236 feet
Antenna Height = LOSi - Elevation

= 305 – 69 = 236

5. Reflection Point/Area

Ratio of Antenna Heights = 150/192 = 0.78


K-Infinity = 0.42
K-Grazing = 0.46

K-Infinity Value 0.42 x 20.3 = 8.526

2. Earth Curvature

The Earth’s bulge and the curvature of the radio beam need
to be taken into account.

EARTH BULGE with k = 1.33

It refers to the circular segment of earth profile which blocks


off long distance communications.

4. Antenna and Tower Height

 Site 1 (Arayat Municipal Hall)


- Tower Height:
- Antenna Height: 150 feet
Antenna Height = LOSi - Elevation

- = 185 – 35 = 150

 Site 2 (Baliuag Municipal Hall)


- Tower Height:
- Antenna Height: 119 feet
Antenna Height = LOSi - Elevation

- = 190 – 71 = 119

5. Reflection Point/Area

Ratio of Antenna Heights = 119/150 = 0.79


K-Infinity = 0.38
K-Grazing = 0.47

K-Infinity Value 0.38 x 16 = 6.08


K-Grazing Value 0.47 x 16= 7.52

Eb/No is greater than 20dB, so BER is equal to 10 x 10-10

System Gain = Antenna Gain in Tx+Antenna Gain in Rx

= 49.4 + 49.4

availability attained the requirement of 99.999%. The value of C/N
decreased to 33.45783655 dB due to fading which resulted to the
decreased in availability but the BER value is still 10 x 10-10. Since the
value of C/N was below 48 dB, frequency diversity was used to improve
the availability of the link, but we still did not reach the requirement which
is equal to 99.999%, thus we used Space Diversity and the required
availability was achieved.

The computed value of unfaded C/N is 91.79140009 dB in which the


availability attained the requirement of 99.999%. The value of C/N
decreased to 38.32526501 dB due to fading which resulted to the
decreased in availability of 99.99% but the BER value is still 10 x 10-10. Since
the value of C/N was below 48 dB, frequency diversity was used to
improve the availability of the link. As we used this diversity, it wasn’t able
to achieve the required availability

The computed value of unfaded C/N is 88.80043133 dB in which the


availability attained the requirement of 99.999%. The value of C/N
decreased to 33.50526404 dB due to fading which resulted to the
decreased between the availability of 99.99% but the BER value is still 10 x
10-10. Since the value of C/N was below 48 dB, frequency diversity was
used to improve the availability of the link but it still wasn’t able to achieve
the requirement.

The computed value of unfaded C/N is 89.72446699 dB in which the


availability obtained the requirement of 99.999%. The value of C/N
decreased to 40.31947252 dB due to fading which resulted to the
decreased between the availability of 99.99% but the BER value is still 10 x
10-10. Since the value of C/N was below 48 dB, frequency diversity wasn’t
able to satisfy the required availability thus Space Diversity was used to
improve the availability of the link in which we passed the requirement
equal to 99.999%.

The computed value of unfaded C/N is 90.86295244 dB in which the


availability obtained the requirement of 99.999%. The value of C/N
decreased to 40.18914887 dB due to fading which resulted to the
decreased in between the availability of 99.99% but the BER value is still 10
x 10-10. Since the value of C/N was below 48 dB, frequency diversity was

234
used but it wasn’t able to satisfy the required availability so Space
Diversity was used instead to improve the availability of the link in which
we passed the requirement equal to 99.999%.

The computed value of unfaded C/N is 90.38513849 dB in which the


availability obtained the requirement of 99.999%. The value of C/N
decreased to 49.33220032 dB which is also able to satisfy the required

GLOSSARY

Antenna Bandwidth

The frequency range within which the antenna performance meet


specifications.

Antenna Gain.

A measure of directivity properties and the efficiency of the antenna. It is


defined as the ratio of the radiation intensity in the peak intensity direction
to the intensity that would be obtained if the power accepted by the
antenna were radiated isotropically. The difference between the antenna
gain and the directivity is that the antenna efficiency is taken into
account in the former parameter. Antenna gain is measured in dBi, i.e.
decibels relative to isotropic antenna.

Antenna Height

The vertical distance measured from the base of the antenna support
structure at grade to the highest point of the structure. If the support
structure is on a sloped grade, then the average between the highest
and lowest grades shall be used in calculating the antenna height.

Attenuation

A general term that refers to any reduction in the strength of a signal. It is


a natural consequence of signal transmission over long distances

Diffraction

Described as the interference of waves according to the Huygens Fresnel


principle. These characteristic behaviors are exhibited when a wave
encounters an obstacle or a slit that is comparable in size to its
wavelength

236
Earths curvature

A conception or representation of the shape of the earth as a planet on


the whole. This conception has changed during the historical
development of knowledge and is defined by general agreement.

Effective Isotropic Radiated Power

Effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is the actual RF power as


measured in the main lobe (or focal point) of an antenna. It is equal to
the sum of the transmit power into the antenna (in dBm) added to the dBi
gain of the antenna. Since it is a power level, the result is measured in
dBm.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Disturbance that affects an electrical circuit due to either


electromagnetic induction or electromagnetic radiation emitted from an
external source

Fading

Defined as the variation of the strength of a received radio carrier signal


due to atmospheric changes and/or ground and water reflections in the
propagation path. Four fading types are considered while planning links.
They are all dependent on path length and are estimated as the
probability of exceeding a given (calculated) fade margin

Fade Margin

Number of decibels of attenuation which may be added to a specified


radio-frequency propagation path before the signal-to-noise ratio of a
specified channel falls below a specified minimum in order to avoid
fading. Allowance made in radio system planning to accommodate
estimated fading.

Free Space Loss

237
The signal attenuation that would result if all absorbing, diffracting,
obstructing, refracting, scattering, and reflecting influences were
sufficiently removed so as to have no effect on propagation.

Fresnel Zone

It is used by propagation theory to calculate reflections and diffraction


loss between a transmitter and receiver. Circular portions of a wave front
transverse to a line between an emitter and a point where the
disturbance is being observed; the nth zone includes all paths whose
lengths are between n-1 and n half-wavelengths longer than the line-of-
sight path. Also known as half-period zones.

Line of Sight

An imaginary line from the eye to a perceived object or an unobstructed


path between sending and receiving antennas.

Link Budget

The accounting of all of the gains and losses from the transmitter, through
the medium (free space, cable, waveguide, fiber, etc.) to the receiver in
a telecommunication system. It accounts for the attenuation of the
transmitted signal due to propagation, as well as the antenna gains, feed
line and miscellaneous losses. Randomly varying channel gains such as
fading are taken into account by adding some margin depending on the
anticipated severity of its effects

Microwave

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths


ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter; with
frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz. These are the ultra-
high, super high and extremely high frequencies directly above the lower
frequency ranges.

Multipath Fading

238
The dominant fading mechanism for frequencies lower than 10GHz.A
reflected wave causes a multipath, i.e. when a reflected wave reaches
the receiver as the direct wave that travels in a straight line from the
transmitter.

Multipath Interference

When signals arrive at a remote antenna after being reflected off the
ground or refracted back to earth from the sky (sometimes called
ducting), they will subtract (or add) to the main signal and cause the
received signal to be weaker (or stronger) throughout the day

Parabolic Antenna

A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic reflector, a


curved surface with the cross-sectional shape of a parabola, to direct the
radio waves. The most common form is shaped like a dish and is popularly
called a dish antenna or parabolic dish. The main advantage of a
parabolic antenna is that it has high directivity.

Rain Attenuation.

Attenuation of radio waves when passing through moisture-bearing cloud


formations or areas in which rain is falling; increases with the density of the
moisture in the transmission path.

Receive Signal Level

Receive signal level is the actual received signal level (usually measured
in negative dBm) presented to the antenna port of a radio receiver from
are mote transmitter.

Receiver Sensitivity

Receiver sensitivity is the weakest RF signal level (usually measured in


negative dBm) that a radio needs receive in order to demodulate and
decode a packet of data without errors.

239
Receiver sensitivity threshold

Is the signal level at which the radio runs continuous errors at a specified
bit rate

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio (usually measured in dB) between


the signal level received and the noise floor level for that particular signal.
The SNR is really the only thing receiver demodulators really care about.
Unless the noise floor is extremely high, the absolute level of the signal or
noise is not critical.

Transmit Power

The transmit power is the RF power coming out of the antenna port of a
transmitter. It is measured in dBm, Watts or milliWatts and does not include
the signal loss of the coax cable or the gain of the antenna
