Abstract :
This paper presents an investigation of the multipath fading on a microwave link in Lebanon. A description of the origin of fading is described. The tested propagation system is one of the microwave links of Future Television in Lebanon. Data acquisition software is used to record the received power. The obtained results are compared to the theoretical values. Finally a space diversity technique is used to improve the performance of the system.
