Microwave: a tiny member of electromagnetic wave family• The wavelength of microwave ranges from 1 mm to 1 m. Microwave is tiny when it is compared with other members of

the family.• The frequency of microwave ranges from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Therefore, the microwave is invisible to human eyes.

Microwave transmission: Microwave, like water waves, will be blocked.• Microwave can be blocked by objects which size are similar or greater than microwave length. • Wavelength = Velocity of light / Frequency

Common Microwave Modulation SchemesPSK

PSK: Digital information is represented by the phase changes of

carriers.

The common PSK modulation schemes include 2PSK, 4PSK,

and 8PSK. 4PSK is also QPSK.K

The highest PSK modulation scheme is 8PSK. For more efficient

bandwidth utilization, QAM modulation schemes are adopted.

QAM

The QAM modulation schemes fully utilize the signal plane by

combining amplitude and phase modulation. In QAM modulation

schemes, the signal vectors are well distributed on the signal plane.

The common QAM modulation schemes include 4QAM, 16QAM,

32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, and 256QAM.

The QAM modulation schemes achieve high bandwidth utilization

efficiency. The 256QAM functions in octonary code.

Tips: In quaternary code, one point represents four bits. That is, 1 MHz can carry 4 Mbit/s traffic. (Service is less than 4 Mbit/s due to redundant bits.) The 16QAM modulation schemes is so called because the fourth power of two is 16. Do you understand why 256QAM is so called?

Adaptive modulation (AM): By using the AM function, the microwave transmission system automatically changes the modulation scheme according to weather conditions.

This function ensures the most effective service transmission in any weather conditions.

0.6 m: Antenna Diameter

Page 18

Microwave antennas include parabolic antenna and Cassegrain antenna. The parabolic antenna is commonly used.

The common diameters of microwave antennas are 0.3 m, 0.6 m, 0.9 m, 1.2 m, 1.8 m, 2.4 m, 3.0 m, and 3.7 m.

Within one frequency band, N channels can be supported by one antenna.

Antennas Main parameters Antenna gain:

Antenna gain indicates the concentricity of the energy radiated by an antenna.

Antenna gain is the ratio of the power of the antenna at a point in space to the power of an ideal

antenna (directionless) at the same point. The measurement unit is dBi.

GdB = 20lgf(GHz) + 20lgD(m) + 10lg η + 20.4dB

In this formula, η (antenna efficiency) = Antenna radiation power / Antenna input power If the frequency is specified, the antenna gain increases by 6 dB when the antenna diameter

doubles. If the antenna diameter is specified, the antenna gain also increases by 6 dB when the frequency

doubles.

15G 1+0 0.6m With RTN605(1E_ 2*FE/2*GE/16*E1 )33

3dB beam bandwidth angle:

Deviated from the center of the main lobe to one of the two sides, the half-

power (–3 dB) point appears when the detected power is reduced by half.

The angle between the two half-power points is called 3dB beam bandwidth

angle.

3dB beam bandwidth angle indicates the directivity of antennas. Larger

antenna diameter ,smaller 3dB beam bandwidth angle, better directivity, and

higher antenna gain.

Space diversity is more cost-effective and efficient that frequency diversity. Therefore, SD is used more often

than FD. FD applies when more channels are available.

Application scenarios: Areas prone to fading, such as rivers and lakes.Working principle: One antenna transmits signals and two antennas receive signals. There is a low probability that both receive antennas are interfered simultaneously.Note: The distance between two receive antennas is determined by frequency bands.

Application scenarios: Areas where the weather changes frequentlyWorking principle: Two frequencies are used to transmit the same service. There is a low probability that both frequencies are interfered simultaneously.Note: Frequency spacing needs to be increased to reduce the correlation of different frequencies.

1+1 SD: Anti-Fading Diversity Technology The diversity technology is used to offset the effects of fading. To be specific, the system transmits the

same information over two or more paths and selects or combines the signals from the receiver.

XPIC: Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation

Page 22

CCDP: Co-Channel Dual-Polarization

The transmit end transmits two electromagnetic waves whose polarization directions are orthogonal to each other. The receive end cancels interference between the two electromagnetic waves by means of the XPIC function, thus retrieving the two original signals.

The XPIC technology improves the utilization of frequency spectrum resources and thus doubles the transmission capacity.

Factors That Affect Microwave Transmission Distances

• The microwave transmission distances ranges from 1 km to 100 km and the microwave transmission capacity reaches the GE level.

• Major factors: space loss, antenna gain, line loss, transmit power, and receive sensitivity Space loss is determined by the nature. Antenna gain, feeder loss, transmit power, and receive sensitivity are determined by the microwave equipment.

• (Transmit power – Receive sensitivity + Antenna gain – Feeder loss) - Space loss > 0 Network design reserves 30 dB as fade margin.

• Frequency bands, weather, terrains, equipment gain, and feeder loss affect microwave transmission distances.

Free Space Loss

• The attenuation of electromagnetic waves due to spreading in free space is called free space loss.

• Free space is the ideal vacuum space where electromagnetic waves do not generate reflection, refraction, scattering, and other physical phenomena.

Higher frequency band, lager Free space loss

Natural factors

Equipment factors

Free space Loss Ls (dB) = 92.4 + 20logF + 20logD

F: transmit frequency (unit: GHz)

D: transmission distance (unit: km)

For example: loss of transmission of 13 GHz signals over 20 km:

Ls = 92.4 + 22.3 + 26 = 140.7 (dB)

Weather (Snow, Rain, Fog)

Page 31

• Rain, snow, and fog are the major weather factors that affect microwave transmission.

Raindrops or ice causes scattering loss of microwave signals.

• Rain has the greatest impact on microwave transmission.

Microwave signals at frequencies lower than 10 GHz can hardly be affected by rain.

Microwave signals at frequencies higher than 10 GHz can be affected by rain;

the higher the frequency, the greater the rain fading.

• Snow and fog cause loss of about 0.5 dB/km for microwave signals.

Antenna gainThe lower the frequency band, the larger the antenna

diameter, and the higher the antenna gain.

Transmit power

The higher the transmit power, the longer the transmission distance.

Feeder loss The lower the frequency band, the shorter the feeder, and

the lower the feeder loss.Transmit power

The lower the frequency band and modulation scheme, the higher the transmit power.

Antenna gainThe greater the antenna gain, the longer the transmission distance.

Feeder lossThe lower the feed line loss, the longer the transmission distance

Receive sensitivity

The lower the receiver sensitivity, the longer the transmission distance.

Receive sensitivity The lower the frequency band and modulation scheme, the smaller the channel spacing, and the lower (better) the

receive sensitivity. With the given channel spacing, the smaller the service capacity, the better the receive sensitivity.

History of Microwave Transmission

Page 34

In 1947, Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL) built the first analog microwave circuit (TD-X) between New York and Boston. This circuit adopted the frequency modulation (FM) mode.

In 1950, the 4 GHz TD-2 microwave system was used for the first time to provide commercial telephone services.

In the late 1960s, the first digital microwave system was built to improve the voice quality. In 1988, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) internationalized Synchronous

Optical Network (SONET) of U.S.A as Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) transport network standards. The SDH microwave system developed rapidly in the 1990s.

In 2007, equipment vendors launched the IP radio (Hybrid/Packet radio) equipment that provided higher transmission efficiency.
