Microwave Radio Function, Its Traffic Routing Synchronization and Link Planning

Sachin Mahajan; P. H. Zope; Rupali Rane

The world’s most implementable microwave transmission system is MINILINK. It is latest addition, offering compact, scalable and cost is very less. This system implemented with integrated traffic routing of E1 and its synchronization with ring protection for smooth working of media, PDH, SDH multiplexing, Ethernet transport, ATM aggregation as well as protection mechanism on link and network level. MINILINK works on the software configurable traffic routing ,minimizes the use of cable, improves network quality and facilitates control from a remote location .Space is reduced up to 70% compared to traditional solution .Configuration ranges from small end site with one single radio terminal to large hub site. Effective link estimate is very important in telecommunication industry for reliable and accurate working. This software program can be used for radio links operating in the microwave frequency range. When a link budget is prepared, many parameters are considered for calculations. Therefore this software program is very essential tool in the telecommunication industry. This paper presents a software tool that can be used to prepare link budgets by providing essential parameters. With the help of this software we can select frequency according to ITU (International Telecommunication Union) standards, graphical representation of the radio path profile between any two geographical locations on the loaded terrain and generates the Fresnel zone according to the frequency. This software can be interfaced with GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver to gather geographical locations.
