Abstract :
Broadband communication over mobile networks is increasing dramatically putting a lot of pressure on the network infrastructure, such as the mobile backhaul. This paper addresses radiowave propagation and some deployment aspects for backhaul millimetre radio links offering capacitates of Gbit/s. It shows that propagation impairment can be dealt with, but the current ITU-R recommend precipitation attenuation method apparently under predicts.
