This reference provides advice and instruction for the planning and detailed design of microwave radio transmission systems. It should be useful for readers planning SDH/SONET broadband networks, backhaul for mobile radio networks such as GSM, transmission links for TETRA networks, TV and utility networks, and Wireless Local Loop networks. The author provides practical guidelines based on hands-on experience. Complex mathematics is avoided and fundamental concepts are explained in the context of real-world applications to encourage a deeper understanding of microwave radio transmission. In addition, the volume serves as a guide to frequency planning for radio networks and provides intelligence on digital radio equipment characteristics and fading in radio systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A complete and comprehensive guide for the link planner,
By F. Lamprecht (East London, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microwave Radio Transmission Design Guide (Artech House Microwave Library) (Hardcover)
This book is, so-to-speak, an absolute must for the Transmission Planner. The planner's successful implimentation of any point-to-point PDH or SDH radio network depends on his ability to select fit-for-purpose equipment, to understand the important issues regarding careful antenna selection, to understand the quality objectives he is designing for, to understand the mechanics of link design at the hand of ITU standards, to understand some of the most significant propagation effects, to understand the issues w.r.t. site selection and to be able to do proper frequency planning when needed - This book covers it all and more. Trevor is a true expert in his field. The insights shared in his book and his practical advice throughout is backed up with his enormous experience and well researched knowledge.

The Why and How of practical microwaves,
By BARRY CHESTER (Darwin, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microwave Radio Transmission Design Guide (Artech House Microwave Library) (Hardcover)
Trevor Manning's Microwave Radio Transmission Design Guide is a comprehensive guide to the practical design and deployment of digital microwave links of small to medium capacity, of the kind now used so widely in mobile telephone and wireless systems. The author, in clear and economical English, begins with an overview of modern microwave equipment and typical applications and moves on to discuss every aspect of microwave link planning including scoping, path planning and surveying, site selection and testing, selection of equipment and antennas, including passive reflectors. For those with mostly analogue experience, Chapter 9 gives an overview of the PDH and SDH payloads carried by most present-day systems. There are detailed chapters on microwave link design, propagation, fading, frequency planning and a discussion of ITU reliability standards as applied to microwave links, including practical advice on when to employ hot-standby or ring-main protection. This book will be valuable to both engineers and technicians involved in almost any aspect of microwave link design and construction. Highly recommended.
