Microwave line of sight transmission is one of several transmission media in modern commutation. Microwave information transmission faces the problem of the effect of environment, and this requires determination of operation condition and design for optimum operation this topic is approached from two stand points: the microwave planning and project implementation. Since as a microwave link is a circuit between terminals separated through a great distance, it can be considered as a type of transmission line; but unlike copper or fiber optic cables, terrestrial microwave signals are propagated through the lower atmosphere. Thus they are sensitive to terrain, atmospheric, and climatic conditions adverse to error-free reception. An important part of microwave network is to account for these conditions and provide technical corrections. For optimal operation this paper describes the operation adjustment required and the suitable design needed so as to minimize and get rid of environmental conditions that lead to optimum performance.
