Abstract

This chapter will deal with microwave links (radio relay links), the technology of which is founded on the possibilities offered by the very high frequencies, 1 GHz <f <100 GHz, to which correspond certain very short wavelengths called microwaves, 30 cm >). > 3 mm. These two aspects make it possible to obtain both wide passbands and a very directive radiation, particularly suitable for transmitting large quantities of signals or data from point to point
