Modulation Techniques and Device Requirements in Terrestrial Microwave Radio Systems
01 January 1988
This article traces the evolution of modulation techniques in terrestrial microwave radio systems and highlights the microwave device requirements stemming from each technique. The article is organized into two main parts. Part I presents the system design view of the various modulation techniques and indicates how microwave device requirements are obtained from the basic system requirements. Part II presents the device design viewpoint and relates the design features of typical microwave devices to the various system requirements.
