Abstract

A method for evaluating power transmission line interference with microwave radio communication circuits due to microwave scattering is presented and used to predict digital radio transmission performance degradation. Numerical results show that the effects of power line screening on highly efficient digital radio systems are more serious than on analog (FM) radio systems since power lines cause quadrature distortion and intersymbol interference as well as average level reduction. An experimental result using a communication satellite beacon shows that conductors within the first Fresnel zone cause the interference
