This important new work provides readers with the depth of knowledge necessary for all the practical engineering details associated with fixed point-to-point microwave radio path design: the why, what, and how of microwave transmission; design objectives; engineering methodologies; and design philosophy (in the bid, design, and acceptance phase of the project). Written in an easily accessible format, the book is complete with an appendix of specialized engineering details and formulas.?"--; "Integrated use of industry leading microwave path engineering software to solve problems introduced in the book"-- UR - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118636336 ER -
