Introduction to Microwave

Microwave communication is the transmission of signals by means of series of microwave

towers. It is also known as “line of sight” propagation which means nothing should obstruct

the data being transmitted or received.

Microwave refers to electromagnetic energy having a frequency higher than 1GHz

corresponding to wavelength shorter than 30cm. This part of the radio spectrum ranges from

1GHz up to 30GHz.

A studio-transmitter link (or STL) sends a radio station or television station's audio and

video from the broadcast studio to a transmitter in another location.

The best locations to place antennas are the mountainous areas, in which needed towers are

shorter but putting up a studio is impractical. In flat regions, it is not advisable to place the

center of the station near the community, for the people might frown the antenna, thus the

antennas should be placed several miles or kilometers away.

Depending on the locations that must be connected, a station may choose either a point to

 point (PTP) link on another special radio frequency, or a newer all-digital wired link via a

dedicated T1 or  E1 (or larger-capacity) line. Radio links can also be digital, or the older  analog

type, or a hybrid of the two. Even on older all-analog systems, multiple audio and data channels

can be sent using subcarriers. 

Stations that employ an STL usually also have a transmitter-studio link (TSL) to return

telemetry information. Both the STL and TSL are considered  broadcast auxiliary services

(BAS).

Weather Conditions:

Moncada has a humid climate. The land area is totally cultivated, not much natural vegetation is

left. The landscape is mostly covered with rainfed croplands. The climate is classified as a tropical

monsoon (short dry season, monsoon rains other months), with a tropical wet forest biozone . The

soil in the area is high in nitosols, andosols (nt), soil with deep, clay-enriched lower horizon with

shiny ped surfaces.

April is warmest with an average temperature of 34.3 °C at noon. January is coldest with an

average temperature of 20.5 °C at night. Moncada has no distinct temperature seasons, the

temperature is relatively constant during the year. The temperatures at night are cooler than during

daytime. April is on average the month with most sunshine. The wet season has a rainfall peak

around July, the dry season is around the month of December.

Site Demographic Profile

Site R (Repeater): Tarlac City, Tarlac

The city is situated at the center of the province. To its north is  Gerona and Santa Ignacia, west

is San Jose, south is Capas and Concepcion and eastern boundaries are Victoria and La Paz. This

is also the location of  Tarlac River. 

Tarlac City is approximately 24 metres (79 ft) above sea level on some parts but reaching even 50

metres (160 ft) on large western portions. Tarlac City was historically a part of what is now Porac,

Pampanga. Parts of Tarlac city are claimed to be among the few portions of land in the province

which was not created by ancient eruptions from Mount Pinatubo. 

Geographical Coordinates:

15°28′N 120°35′E 

Access Roads:

From McArthur Highway, take right to Luisita Road.

Alternate Route: NLEX, take SCTEX after Dau Pampanga then take left to Luisita Road.

Site Demographic Profile

Site B: Mabalacat, Pampanga

Mabalacat, officially Mabalacat, is a component city in the northern part of

the province of  Pampanga, Philippines. The former  municipality was officially converted into a

city following a referendum on July 21, 2012, and became the third in Pampanga after  Angeles

City and City of San Fernando. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 215,610

 people. The city's name is derived from the ancient "balacat " trees which were found abundantly

in the area.

Mabalacat has a land area of 83.18 square kilometres (32.12 sq mi). Roughly 60% of the Clark

Freeport Zone is located in Mabalacat, the rest in nearby Angeles City, where the Clark main gate

is located and which is served by the Clark International Airport with its numerous hotels, casinos,

golf courses, and resorts.

Geographical Coordinates:

15°13′N 120°35′E 

Access Roads:

Through Mc Arthur Highway and through NLEX.

around October; the dry season is around the month of March.

Physical Characteristics: 

The soil is charcoal black and shiny, a sign of fertility, and is suitable for growing rice, sugarcane

and other rootcrops. Like Porac, Santa Rita, Magalang, and Angeles City, this city never gets

inundated by floods from heavy rain because it is situated on an elevated plain known as the "Upper

Pampanga".

Conclusion

In the design, Using the following components in order to create a microwave antenna to

transmit and receive between the following places: Moncada, Tarlac to Tarlac City, Tarlac and

vice versa, Tarlac City,Tarlac to Mabalacat, Pampanga and vice versa. The reason for the following

destinations chosen primarily is the ease of transportation, meaning the site can be reached without

difficulty due to roads near it. The proponents used an antenna with a 4 feet diameter since the

calculated antenna diameter is larger than the commercially available 2 feet. The proponents also

used a EWP52-56W waveguide which is elliptical. The design is purely theoretical since there is

much more study needed in order to properly design the antenna in the area chosen by the

 proponents.

Recommendation(s):

After undergoing all the necessary steps in designing a double-hop microwave transmission

system, the company had the following recommendations:

  The company recommends that practical improvement should be imposed on the system

so it can move along with the flow of current technology.

  The area involved in the proposed project should be surveyed first before putting up any

line of sight communication link.

  Path profiling must be at least the 60% of the first Fresnel zone radius and must not hit the highest

point of ground elevation throughout the path. 

  Since the sites are exposed and prone to high wind velocities, the company would like to

recommend further wind loading measures to ensure the safety stability of the antenna

towers and the security of the personnel within the perimeter.

 

To ensure the reliability of the system will be met, the company also recommends monthly

maintenance and equipment check up.

  Other security measures such as grounding, lightning protection and the likes must be

 properly observed to achieve the full functionality of the system.

  To impose security for the system as a whole, the company recommends safety measures

Page 48: Microwave Design PDF

7/23/2019 Microwave Design PDF

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/microwave-design-pdf 48/48

such as installing hidden security cameras and placing metal fences around the perimeter

of the chosen sites.

  Since the company will utilize a tower that is greater than needed, the client can lease the

tower and generate an additional amount of income. Thus, the payment for the said leasing

will be depending on the agreement of the client and the person who’s leasing the tower.
