INTRODUCTION
Microwave transmission refers to the technology of
transmitting information by the use of the radio waves
called microwaves (frequency of 1Ghz 30 Ghz) whose
wavelengths are conveniently measured in small
numbers of centimeters, by using various electronic
technologies. And due to its advantages, like using small
size antenna with high gain, and with increase reliability
but less maintenance, microwave links are used at many
different applications today.
