3.3 Reflection Path: Sample Calculation

Design of a Two-Hop Microwave Link
3.3 Reflection Path

The point of reflection can be determined by the formula:
4
*For k = 3
1 1 2 2
1
2

2
Where:
H1 is the elevation of lower antenna from the reflection surface (ft)
D1 is the distance from lower antenna (mi)
H2 is the elevation of higher antenna from the reflection surface (ft)
D2 is the distance from higher antenna (mi)
Sample Calculation:
H1 = 246.063 ft + 40.625 ft. = 286.688 ft.
H2 = 442.913 ft + 40.522 ft. = 483.435 ft.
1 (1) = (

) = 921.671

) = 32.714
