This practical guide shows engineers interested in radio relay links how to design, install, and exploit troposcatter systems. The only comprehensive book currently available on the topic, Troposcatter Radio Links explains what a troposcatter radio link is, how it works, and how it is designed. Clear definitions, practical data, hundred of diagrams, and calculation examples illustrate propagation problems, path design, and link performance. The text helps you realize a workable, efficient stystem with coverage of the types of equipment and methods of implrmentation for both analog and digital transmission.
