Abstract :
This paper deals with computer aided design and planning of a line of sight microwave radio relay link. In addition it presents the Antenna Cost Optimization Program (ACOP) used to optimize the antenna height for a line of sight microwave radio relay link. The development of the tool takes into consideration the format of the construction of the geographical database.
