MICROWAVE RADIO Handy Reference Guide

by Trevor Manning, Sylvester Singarayer (Illustrations)

Endorsed by an array of current international experts, this book is a fully up-to-date reference guide for microwave radio transmission planners, equipment designers, Network Operations Centre (NOC) staff as well as field operations technicians responsible for commissioning and maintaining wireless telecoms networks. The book covers the fundamentals of microwave transmission from first principles and is written in a down-to-earth and practical style so that it is suitable for anyone wanting an authoritative and easy-to-read overview of microwave radio planning, design and deployment. Mathematical formulas are avoided, yet the topic is covered in-depth and includes many insights and practical tips and advice not covered in mainstream literature. As the author has built the material up starting from legacy equipment and legacy standards, current equipment with advanced features and countermeasures are presented in the context of real-world networks. Practical advice is also given on how to bridge the gap in using outdated standards and formulas, often programmed into software planning tools, to address deployments in current networks.

Excellent guide covering all aspects of contemporary microwave planning and design. The author touches extremely well adapted on the basics of theory, best practices and traps you need to avoid. Technology and contemporary approaches the industry take are also described in a easy to read and understand way. A highly recommended handbook for anyone involved in 4G and 5G networks.
