Conceptual Paradigm of Microwave Communications System Design Connecting

province of Rizal to Bulacan

This study shows a conceptual structure of principles and processes that are

very important in designing a Microwave Communication linking the province of Rizal to

Bulacan.

In planning, it is essential to decide the specific area that the researchers will be

interconnecting and to know the purpose of transmission. Also, it is important that the

researchers are aware of the of the factors that must be considered when designing a

microwave communication system.

 When the researchers have already gained enough knowledge about the design

considerations, they must choose the best location and get the exact coordinate

locations with elevation for the two sites and the corresponding highest obstruction for

each linkage. Preliminary studies for site location can be made from maps and aerial

photographs prepared by other agencies; however, the final site selections must be

made from field surveys.

Then, calculate the azimuth of the antennas, distances for every Line-of-sight

connection, distances from first points to obstruction, frequency of the antenna to be

used, antenna height and corresponding path, Fresnel Clearance and its ratio,

transmission computation and the systems reliability in percentage.
