Definition of Microwave
 Microwave
 Microwave is a kind of electromagnetic wave. In a broad sense, the
microwave frequency range is from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. But In
microwave communication, the frequency range is generally from 3
GHz to 30 GHz.
 According to the characteristics of microwave propagation, microwave

can be considered as plane wave.
 The plane wave has no electric field and magnetic field longitudinal
components along the propagation direction. The electric field and
magnetic field components are vertical to the propagation direction.
Therefore, it is called transverse electromagnetic wave and TEM wave
for short.

IFX Board－XPIC features
• XPIC (Cross-polarization interference

cancellation ) is a technology used together with
co-channel dual-polarization (CCDP). The
application of the two technologies doubles the
wireless link capacity over the same channel.
• XPIC is used to effectively improve the
transmission capacity and the utilization of the
frequency spectrums. It is widely used in the
trunk microwave. As the split-mount microwave
develops and the frequency resources become
insufficient in recent years, the XPIC technology
is applied in the split-mount microwave.

Dual-polarized compact antennas
The dual-polarized antennas support the direct mounting
mode. In the case of a direct mounting mode flexible
waveguides are not required. A direct mounting mode can
decrease link loss, and increase transmission system gain. It
is applicable to the XPIC-enabled scenarios.

Free Space Transmission Loss
 Free space loss: A = 92.4 + 20 log d + 20 log f

(d: km, f: GHz). If d or f is doubled, the loss will increase by 6 dB.

Absorption Fading
 Molecules of all substances are composed of charged particles. These particles have
their own electromagnetic resonant frequencies. When the microwave frequencies of
these substances are close to their resonance frequencies, resonance absorption
occurs to the microwave.
 Statistic shows that absorption to the microwave frequency lower than 12 GHz is
smaller than 0.1 dB/km. Compared with free space loss, the absorption loss can be
ignored.

Atmosphere absorption curve (dB/km)

Rain Fading
 For frequencies lower than 10 GHz, rain loss can be ignored. Only a few db may
be added to a relay section.
 For frequencies higher than 10 GHz, repeater spacing is mainly affected by rain
loss. For example, for the 13 GHz frequency or higher, 100 mm/h rainfall causes a
loss of 5 dB/km. Hence, for the 13 GHz and 15 GHz frequencies, the maximum relay
distance is about 10 km. For the 20 GHz frequency and higher, the relay distance is
limited in few kilometres due to rain loss.
 High frequency bands can be used for user-level transmission. The higher the
frequency band is, the more severe the rain fading.

K-Type Fading
 Atmosphere refraction
 As a result of atmosphere refraction, the microwave propagation trail is bent. It is
considered that the electromagnetic wave is propagated along a straight line above
Reof
the earth with an equivalent earth radius Re, = KR (R: actual earth radius.)
 The average measured K value is about 4/3. However, the K value of a specific
section is related to the meteorological phenomena of the section. The K value may
change within a comparatively large range. This can affect line-of-sight propagation.
Re
R

Multipath Fading
 Multipath fading: Due to multipath propagation of refracted waves, reflected
waves, and scattered waves, multiple electric waves are received at the
receiving end. The composition of these electric waves will result in severe
interference fading.
 Reasons for multipath fading: reflections due to non-uniform atmosphere,
water surface and smooth ground surface.

 Down fading: fading where the composite wave level is lower than the free
space received level. Up fading: fading where the composite wave level is
higher than the free space received level.
 Non-uniform atmosphere
 Water surface
 Smooth ground surface.
Ground surface

Duct Type Fading
Due to the effects of the meteorological conditions such as ground cooling in the
night, burnt warm by the sun in the morning, smooth sea surface, and anticyclone, a
non-uniform structure is formed in atmosphere. This phenomenon is called
atmospheric duct.
If microwave beams pass through the atmospheric duct while the receiving point is
outside the duct layer, the field strength at the receiving point is from not only the
direct wave and ground reflected wave, but also the reflected wave from the edge of
the duct layer. As a result, severe interference fading occurs and causes interruption
to the communications.
Duct type fading

Anti-fading Technologies
for Digital Microwave System
 High and low antennas

 Frequency diversity
 Signals at different frequencies have different fading characteristics. Accordingly,
two or more microwave frequencies with certain frequency spacing to transmit and
receive the same information which is then selected or composed, to reduce the
influence of fading. This work mode is called frequency diversity.
 Advantages: The effect is obvious. Only one antenna is required.
 Disadvantages: The utilization ratio of frequency bands is low.
f1
f2

 Space diversity
 Signals have different multipath effect over different paths and thus have different fading
characteristics. Accordingly, two or more suites of antennas at different altitude levels to
receive the signals at the same frequency which are composed or selected. This work
mode is called space diversity. If there are n pairs of antennas, it is called n-fold diversity.
 Advantages: The frequency resources are saved.
 Disadvantages: The equipment is complicated, as two or more suites of antennas are
required.
 Antenna distance: As per experience, the distance between the diversity antennas is 100
to 200 times the wavelength in frequently used frequency bands.

Transmission Clearance
 The knife-edged obstacle blocks partial of the Fresnel zone. This also causes
the diffraction of the microwave. Influenced by the two reasons, the level at the
actual receive point must be lower than the free space level. The loss caused by
the knife-edged obstacle is called additional loss.

RAIN ZONES ITU

Type of interference
 co-frequency interference.
 When the interfering signal has the same frequency as the

interfered signal, the interference is called co-channel
interference.
 Adjacent channel interference
 When the central frequency of the interfering signal falls in

an adjacent channel of the main transmitted signal, the
interference is called adjacent channel interference.

Examples of Interference
 Case1 (co-channel interference) ： Interference caused when

the antenna beam width is large and the included angle between
links is small. The signals transmitted from site A to site B
interfere with the signals received by site B from site C. Similarly,
the signals transmitted from site C to site B also interfere with the
Site C
signals received by site B from site A.

 Case2 (co-channel interference) ： Front-back interference is

caused by a poor front-back ratio of antennas. The signals
transmitted from site X interfere with the signals received by site
Y from site Z. Similarly, the signals transmitted from site Y to site
X also interfere with the signals received by site Z from site Y.
Site X Site Z

 Case3 (co-channel interference)：Overreach interference. The

signals transmitted from site A to site B interfere with the signals
received by site D from site C. Similarly, the signals transmitted
from site D to site C interfere with the signals received by site A
from site B.

Introduction to Enabling AMAC Planning
(Pathloss Ver4.0)
The methods for link planning are similar to those for AM planning. For details about planning
methods, see the AM Network Planning Guide V1.3. During an interference analysis, the interference in
the 250M-QPSK and 500M-QPSK modes need to be respectively calculated. Planning steps are briefly
described as follows:
（1）Determine to enable the AMAC function based on service priorities, capacities, and so on.
（2）Select the network planning files of the 250M-QPSK Strong mode, and use the traditional method to plan
links in the reference mode.
（3）For the modes that have higher orders than the reference mode, select the network planning files of the
to-be-calculated mode, and enter the corresponding AMAC_RSL parameters (replace the original sensitivity of
the mode in the red circles) into the blue circle on the Pathloss page shown in the following figure to calculate
the link availability.
