The Type-76 microwave radio system

The continuing growth of point-to-point microwave communications has resulted in many new applications which require differing performance characteristics. As the amount of information entrusted to microwave grows, the need for operating reliability becomes much greater. This paper describes a new transistorized microwave system which meets these requirements, and discusses the design approaches used. The system is unusually flexible and embodies many design innovations which result in greatly improved performance.
