IF and baseband repeaters are used in microwave radio systems to amplify and regenerate signals. IF repeaters down-convert signals to an intermediate frequency, amplify and reshape the signal, then up-convert it back to radio frequency. Baseband repeaters further demodulate signals to baseband before modulating onto a carrier frequency. Diversity techniques like frequency, space, polarization and hybrid diversity are used to increase reliability by providing redundant transmission paths. Key components of microwave radio systems include the transmitter, receiver, antennas, and repeaters used to establish line-of-sight links over long distances.

Microwave Radio Baseband repeaters - The received RF carrier is down-converted to an IF frequency, amplified, filtered, and then further demodulated to baseband. - The baseband signal, which is typically frequency-division-multiplexed voice-band channels, is further modulated to a mastergroup, supergroup, group, or even channel level.

Microwave Radio Diversity - Microwave systems use line-of-sight transmission. This means that the transmitting and receiving antennas must see “eye-to- eye”.Diversity suggests that: -There is more than one transmission path -There is more than one method of transmission available between a transmitter and a receiver. Purpose of Diversity: -The purpose of using diversity is to increase the reliability of the system by increasing its availability.
Microwave Radio Frequency Diversity -Modulating two different RF carrier frequencies with the same IF intelligence, then transmitting both RF signals to a given destination.

Microwave Radio Space Diversity - The output of a transmitter is fed to two or more antennas that are physically separated by an appreciable number of wavelengths. - Similarly, at the receiving end, there may be more than one antenna providing the input signal to the receiver. - If multiple receiving antennas are used, they must also be separated by an appreciable number of wavelengths.

Microwave Radio Space-diversity arrangements provide for path redundancy but not equipment redundancy. Space diversity is more expensive than frequency diversity because of the additional antennas and waveguides. Space diversity, however, provides efficient frequency usage and a substantially greater protection than frequency diversity.

Microwave Radio Polarization Diversity - A single RF carrier is propagated with two different electro­magnetic polarizations (vertical and horizontal). - Electromagnetic waves of different polarizations do not necessarily experience the same transmission impairments.
Microwave Radio Hybrid Diversity - A somewhat specialized form of diversity, which consists of a standard frequency-diversity path where the two transmitter/receiver pairs at one end of the path are separated from each other and connected to different antennas that are vertically separated as in space diversity.
Microwave Radio Quad Diversity - Another form of hybrid diversity. - Undoubtedly provides the most reliable transmission. - It is also the most expensive.
Microwave Radio Two types of protection switching arrangements: 1. Hot standby 2. Diversity
Microwave Radio Hot standby protection. - Each working radio channel has a dedicated backup or spare channel. - Hot standby systems offer 100% protection for each working radio channel. Diversity protection. - A single backup channel is made available to as many as 11 working channels. - A diversity system offers 100% protection only to the first working channel to fail. If two radio channels fail at the same time, a service interruption will occur.
Microwave Radio FM Microwave Radio Stations Two types of FM microwave stations: 1. Terminals 2. Repeaters Terminal stations - Points in the system where baseband signals either originate or terminate. Repeater stations - Points in a system where baseband signals may be reconfigured. - Points in a system where RF carriers are simply "repeated" or amplified.
Microwave Radio Terminal Station - A terminal station consists of four major sections: 1. The baseband 2. Wire line entrance link (WLEL) 3. FM-IF 4. RF sections
Microwave Radio Wireline entrance link (WLEL) - It serves as the interface between the multiplex - terminal equipment and the FM-IF equipment. - It generally consists of an amplifier and an equalizer (which together compensate for cable transmission losses) and level-shaping devices commonly called pre- and deemphasis networks.
Microwave Radio IF section - The FM terminal equipment generates a frequency-modulated IF carrier. RF section. - The IF signal enters the transmitter through a protection switch. - The IF and compression amplifiers help keep the IF signal power constant and at approximately the required input level to the transmit modulator (transmod).

Microwave Radio Transmod - A balanced modulator that, when used in conjunction with a microwave generator, power amplifier, and Bandpass filter, up-converts the IF carrier to an RF carrier and amplifies the RF to the desired output power.
Microwave Radio Microwave generator - Provides the RF carrier input to the up-converter. - It is called a microwave generator rather than an oscillator because it is difficult to construct a stable circuit that will oscillate in the gigahertz range.
Microwave Radio Isolator - A unidirectional device often made from a ferrite material. - Used in conjunction with a channel-combining network to prevent the output of one transmitter from interfering with the output of another transmitter.

Microwave Radio Path Characteristics a.The free-space path is the line-of-sight path directly between the transmitting and receiving antennas (this is also called the direct wave). b. The ground-reflected wave is the portion of the transmit signal that is reflected off Earth's surface and captured by the receive antenna. c. The surface wave consists of the electric and magnetic fields associated with the currents induced in Earth's surface.
Microwave Radio d. The sum of these three paths (taking into account their amplitude and phase) is called the ground wave. e. The sky wave is the portion of the transmit signal that is returned (reflected) back to Earth's surface by the ionized layers of Earth's atmosphere.
Microwave Radio For frequencies above about 30 MHz to 50 MHz, the free-space and ground-reflected paths are generally the only paths of importance. The surface wave can also be neglected at these frequencies, provided that the antenna heights are not too low.
Microwave Radio The sky wave is only a source of occasional long-distance interference and not a reliable signal for microwave communications purposes.
Microwave Radio In microwave systems, the surface and sky-wave propagations are neglected, and attention is focused on those phenomena that affect the direct and reflected waves.

Microwave Radio Fading - A general term applied to the reduction in signal strength at the input to a receiver. - Applies to propagation variables in the physical radio path which affect changes in the path loss between the transmitter at one station and its normal receiver at the other station. - Can occur under conditions of heavy ground fog or when extremely cold air moves over a warm earth.
Microwave Radio System Gain - The difference between the nominal output of a transmitter and the minimum input power required by a receiver. - must be greater than or equal to the sum of all the gains and losses incurred by a signal as it propagates from a transmitter to a receiver. - Represents the net loss of a radio system.

Microwave Radio Free-Space Path Loss - Sometimes called spreading loss. - the loss incurred by an electromagnetic wave as it propagates in a straight line through a vacuum with no absorption or reflection of energy from nearby objects. - Frequency dependent and increases with distance.

Microwave Radio Receiver Threshold - The minimum wide­band carrier power (Cmin) at the input to a receiver that will provide a usable baseband out­put. - Sometimes called the receiver sensitivity Carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio - Probably the most important parameter considered when evaluating the performance of a microwave communications system.

Microwave Radio Noise Factor and Noise Figure Noise factor (F) and Noise figure (NF) - These are figures of merit used to indicate how much the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates as a signal passes through a circuit or series of circuits.

Microwave Radio K-curve conditions: a.Sub-standard condition 1<k - the microwave beam is bent away from the earth. It is as if the earth’s curvature is extended or the earth bulge is effectively increased hence, the pat is shortened and the tower must be increased.
Microwave Radio b. Standard condition 3 4 =k Under this condition, the fictitious earth radius appears to be longer than the true earth’s radius, thus, the earth path is assumed to be smooth (no obstacles besides mid-path earth bulge) such that the microwave beam is neither bent toward the earth or away from the earth.
Microwave Radio c. Super-standard condition 3 4 >k This condition results in an effective flattening of the equivalent earth’s curvature and the microwave beam is bent toward the earth, which allows decreasing the tower heights.
Microwave Radio d. Infinity condition (Flat earth condition) ∞=k This condition results to zero curvature (as if the earth is very flat) and the microwave beam follows the earth’s curvature.

    Microwave Radio Diversity - Microwavesystems use line-of-sight transmission. This means that the transmitting and receiving antennas must see “eye-to- eye”.Diversity suggests that: -There is more than one transmission path -There is more than one method of transmission available between a transmitter and a receiver. Purpose of Diversity: -The purpose of using diversity is to increase the reliability of the system by increasing its availability.

    Microwave Radio Space Diversity -The output of a transmitter is fed to two or more antennas that are physically separated by an appreciable number of wavelengths. - Similarly, at the receiving end, there may be more than one antenna providing the input signal to the receiver. - If multiple receiving antennas are used, they must also be separated by an appreciable number of wavelengths.

    Microwave Radio Space-diversity arrangementsprovide for path redundancy but not equipment redundancy. Space diversity is more expensive than frequency diversity because of the additional antennas and waveguides. Space diversity, however, provides efficient frequency usage and a substantially greater protection than frequency diversity.
  • 14.
  • 15.
    Microwave Radio Polarization Diversity -A single RF carrier is propagated with two different electro­magnetic polarizations (vertical and horizontal). - Electromagnetic waves of different polarizations do not necessarily experience the same transmission impairments.
  • 16.
    Microwave Radio Hybrid Diversity -A somewhat specialized form of diversity, which consists of a standard frequency-diversity path where the two transmitter/receiver pairs at one end of the path are separated from each other and connected to different antennas that are vertically separated as in space diversity.
  • 17.
    Microwave Radio Quad Diversity -Another form of hybrid diversity. - Undoubtedly provides the most reliable transmission. - It is also the most expensive.
  • 18.
    Microwave Radio Two typesof protection switching arrangements: 1. Hot standby 2. Diversity
  • 19.
    Microwave Radio Hot standbyprotection. - Each working radio channel has a dedicated backup or spare channel. - Hot standby systems offer 100% protection for each working radio channel. Diversity protection. - A single backup channel is made available to as many as 11 working channels. - A diversity system offers 100% protection only to the first working channel to fail. If two radio channels fail at the same time, a service interruption will occur.

    Microwave Radio FM MicrowaveRadio Stations Two types of FM microwave stations: 1. Terminals 2. Repeaters Terminal stations - Points in the system where baseband signals either originate or terminate. Repeater stations - Points in a system where baseband signals may be reconfigured. - Points in a system where RF carriers are simply "repeated" or amplified.
  • 21.
    Microwave Radio Terminal Station -A terminal station consists of four major sections: 1. The baseband 2. Wire line entrance link (WLEL) 3. FM-IF 4. RF sections
  • 22.
    Microwave Radio Wireline entrancelink (WLEL) - It serves as the interface between the multiplex - terminal equipment and the FM-IF equipment. - It generally consists of an amplifier and an equalizer (which together compensate for cable transmission losses) and level-shaping devices commonly called pre- and deemphasis networks.
  • 23.
    Microwave Radio IF section -The FM terminal equipment generates a frequency-modulated IF carrier. RF section. - The IF signal enters the transmitter through a protection switch. - The IF and compression amplifiers help keep the IF signal power constant and at approximately the required input level to the transmit modulator (transmod).

    Microwave Radio Transmod - Abalanced modulator that, when used in conjunction with a microwave generator, power amplifier, and Bandpass filter, up-converts the IF carrier to an RF carrier and amplifies the RF to the desired output power.
  • 26.
    Microwave Radio Microwave generator -Provides the RF carrier input to the up-converter. - It is called a microwave generator rather than an oscillator because it is difficult to construct a stable circuit that will oscillate in the gigahertz range.

    Microwave Radio Path Characteristics a.Thefree-space path is the line-of-sight path directly between the transmitting and receiving antennas (this is also called the direct wave). b. The ground-reflected wave is the portion of the transmit signal that is reflected off Earth's surface and captured by the receive antenna. c. The surface wave consists of the electric and magnetic fields associated with the currents induced in Earth's surface.
  • 32.
    Microwave Radio d. Thesum of these three paths (taking into account their amplitude and phase) is called the ground wave. e. The sky wave is the portion of the transmit signal that is returned (reflected) back to Earth's surface by the ionized layers of Earth's atmosphere.
  • 33.
    Microwave Radio For frequenciesabove about 30 MHz to 50 MHz, the free-space and ground-reflected paths are generally the only paths of importance. The surface wave can also be neglected at these frequencies, provided that the antenna heights are not too low.
  • 34.
    Microwave Radio The skywave is only a source of occasional long-distance interference and not a reliable signal for microwave communications purposes.
  • 35.
    Microwave Radio In microwavesystems, the surface and sky-wave propagations are neglected, and attention is focused on those phenomena that affect the direct and reflected waves.
