V. INTERPRETATION OF DATA RESULTS
The factors that could affect the point to point microwave system are site
selection, antenna height, antenna type, tower type, site survey, repeater, and
waveguide and transmission line.
The strategic location of the transmitter is on (14°52'23.54"N,
120°31'27.50"E) Prado Siongco Lubao, Pampanga while the receiver is on
(14°38'49.37"N, 120°29'57.32"E) Dangcol Balanga, Bataan. Since there is no line-
of-sight between the transmitter and receiver, a repeater located at Capitangan
Abucay, Bataan (14°41'24.76"N, 120°28'56.21"E) was employed.
The measured antenna height considering the earth bulge, land elevation,
height of the obstructions and Fresnel clearance was 20m for the repeater and
transmitter and 30m for the receiver.
For the system reliability, the percentage of time a system or link meets
performance requirements, we get a 99.9988% which is a good value. The overall
system reliability of the designed point - to - point microwave communication link
is based from the computed result was 99.9988% which meet the industry
standard of 99.999% availability (about 300 seconds outage a year) to 99.9996%
(about 125seconds outage a year).
