Planning a link involves producing a profile of the path and calculating the net loss in the system to arrive at a transmitter output power which will produce the designed signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver. A simple example using the profile of Figure 11.2 is shown in Section 11.8.
Transmission lines and waveguides are discussed in Chapter 3 and microwave antennas in Chapter 4.
