Objectives of the Study

A. General Objective

To design a Point-to-Point Microwave Communication Link with a

path length of no less than 50 kilometers from the receiver site (Mabalacat,

Lubao Pampanga) with allocated budget. In addition, microwave networks

have shorter and more flexible routes and can bypass mountains, lakes,

rivers, and other rugged terrains which travel through the air about 50

percent faster than light through optical fiber..

B. Specific Objectives

 Discuss the factors that should be considered in the design of the

microwave link.

 Select possible receiver, transmitter and if necessary, repeater site

locations to provide a path link with line-of-sight (LOS).

 Visit site locations to check for land availability and for possible

obstructions and their height

 Compute for antenna tower height by considering the effective Earth

bulge, land elevation, height of obstructions.

 Choose antenna tower based on computed height, land area, and

location wind loading.

 Choose antenna type and diameter to be used for the transmitting

and receiving antennas.

 Choose the type of repeater, waveguide and transmission lines to be

used.

 Solve for system reliability and figure and provide a power level

diagram.

 Provide a tabulated list of the materials including description,

specification, and cost.
