How does microwave link work?

Microwave link design is a methodical, systematic, and sometimes lengthy process that includes the following main activities: Loss/attenuation calculations. Fading and fade margins calculations. Frequency planning and interference calculations. Quality and availability calculations.

The transmission of signals by sending microwaves, either directly or via a satellite . The receivers for microwave signals are usually disc-shaped antennae from a foot to a few feet across and are often seen installed in business locations or near private homes.

A microwave link is a communications system that uses a beam of radio waves in the microwave frequency range to transmit video, audio, or data between two locations , which can be from just a few feet or meters to several miles or kilometers apart.
