Microwave Transmission Networks: Planning, Design, and Deployment

The only thoroughly modern reference on microwave transmission network engineering and management, expert Harvey Lehpamer's stellar "Microwave Transmission Networks" provides hands-on help that speeds every step of planning, designing, building, and testing systems built to both North American and ITU standards.

Offering in-depth help you'll use every day, from feasibility studies to actual hardware rollouts, this valuable and easy-to-understand resource helps project managers, engineers, and planners --
* Understand, design, and build microwave point-to-point networks -- long- or short-haul, North American or ITU standards
* Expedite the analysis and the design process using internationally accepted models
* Calculate loss/attenuation, fading and fade margins, quality, and availability and perform interference analysis
* Get need-to-know answers on microwave link engineering
* Perform expert testing from design stage through acceptance
* Handle hardware issues from housings to antenna mounts and beyond
* Understand and track microwave network rollouts
* Manage maintenance, regulatory issues, ethical dilemmas, and logistical and organizational challenges
