Abstract
Microwave radio systems still provide a portion of the long-haul message circuit distance within the United States, and are responsible for an appreciable portion of the world’s circuits as well. While some of this message-circuit distance still is on an analog basis, digital service constitutes an increasing portion of microwave transmission. Microwave systems not only provide feeder service to long-haul fiber backbone routes but also provide cross-country service through the use of multiple repeater sites.
