Quality and availability of communications lineof-sight (LOS) radio are closely related to
propagation conditions.

Transmission Types
Line of Sight (LOS):
Simple design.
Full or partial clearance of fresnel zone.
Suitable for long links.

Line-of-Sight Considerations
Microwave radio communication requires a clear lineof-sight (LOS) condition.
Radio LOS takes into account the concept of Fresnel
ellipsoids and their clearance criteria.
The Fresnel Zone must be clear of all obstructions.

Frequency Bands
The following bands are available:
Long Haul:
2 , 6 , 7 and 8 GHz
Short Haul:
11 , 13 , 15 , 18 , 23 , 25 , 28 and 32 GHz
Micro Links:
38 GHz.

Frequency Plans
According to ITU recommendation for each band.
The recommendation specifies the channel bandwidth, spacing and total
number of available channels.

Frequency Plans
Frequency channel arrangements The available frequency band is
subdivided into two halves, a lower (go) and an upper (return) duplex half.
The duplex spacing is always sufficiently large so that the radio equipment
can operate interference free under duplex operation. The width of each
channel depends on the capacity of the radio link and the type of modulation
used
The most important goal of frequency planning is to allocate available
channels to the different links in the network without exceeding the
quality and availability objectives of the individual links because of radio
interference.

Basic Recommendations
Use higher frequency bands for shorter hops and lower frequency bands for
longer hops
Avoid lower frequency bands in urban areas.
Use star and hub configurations for smaller networks and ring configuration
for larger networks.
In areas with heavy precipitation , if possible, use frequency bands below 10
GHz.
Use protected systems (1+1) for all important and/or high-capacity links.
Leave enough spare capacity for future expansion of the system.

One Main Indoor Unit (Main IDU) incorporating the baseband processing
and offering tributaries interfaces as well as service channel and supervision.
The IDU is frequency independent (same unit from 7/8 up to 38 GHz).
One Outdoor Unit (ODU) incorporating the complete RF transceiver and an
integrated or separated antenna. The ODU is capacity independent.
