Key Benefits
This course is designed to study the essentials of transmission network planning in greater detail
such that at the end of this course the student is able to plan microwave networks such that the
link Performance and Availability objectives are met and paths are designed for lowest possible
design and maintenance costs. Also the system does not suffer from interference, or disturb other
radio system in the vicinity. Finally student can carry on the detailed network analysis and
optimize the network performance of any operational network.
