Abstract :
THE MICROWAVE SYSTEM is a very-high-frequency beamed radio channel for transmitting information from point to point, and promises to become a valuable tool to electric power systems as a channel for the transmission of information. Relaying, telemetering, supervisory control, and communication are functions which could use such a channel. The information required by these functions now is being sent over pilot wires and power line carrier channels. The microwave channel, by virtue of its air-line transmission and the large number of quantities which can be transmitted from point to point on a single beam, opens up application possibilities which cannot be handled with present methods.
