Abstract :
Abstract – The world’s most implementable microwave
transmission system is MINILINK. It is latest addition,
offering compact, scalable and cost is very less. This system
implemented with integrated traffic routing of E1 and its
synchronization with ring protection for smooth working of
media, PDH, SDH multiplexing, Ethernet transport, ATM
aggregation as well as protection mechanism on link and
network level. MINILINK works on the software
configurable traffic routing ,minimizes the use of cable,
improves network quality and facilitates control from a
remote location .Space is reduced up to 70% compared to
traditional solution .Configuration ranges from small end site
with one single radio terminal to large hub site. Effective link
estimate is very important in telecommunication industry for
reliable and accurate working. This software program can be
used for radio links operating in the microwave frequency
range. When a link budget is prepared, many parameters are
considered for calculations. Therefore this software program
is very essential tool in the telecommunication industry. This
paper presents a software tool that can be used to prepare
link budgets by providing essential parameters. With the
help of this software we can select frequency according to
ITU (International Telecommunication Union) standards,
graphical representation of the radio path profile between
any two geographical locations on the loaded terrain and
generates the Fresnel zone according to the frequency. This
software can be interfaced with GPS (Global Positioning
System) receiver to gather geographical locations.
