Abstract :
A brief description of a methodology used to predict error probabilities of PSK and QAM modulations, degraded by terrain multipath is presented. The application is intended for microwave terrestrial links. For conditions where atmospheric multipath is not present, a ´two-ray´ multipath model is used.
