Simulation analysis of an unusual reflection in a microwave Line-of-Sight link within A1 Serbia transport network

Abstract

Transport networks within a telecommunications operator are largely based on fiber optics as a way of transmission. However, there are still microwave line-of-sight links present in the network. Consequently, a transport network planner must ensure their undisturbed operation. To do so, he must foresee possible interferers, and include that information during the process of planning the link. One of the less substantial causes of signal degradation is reflection. This research proposes a simulation analysis of the effects of reflection from an unusual reflective surface.
