This type of network is suitable for long distant narrow transmission system like along roads.
Advantage: o Low concentration of equipment at TX point.o Frequency planning is easier.
Disadvantage: o High capacity requires near TX endo One link failure affects all sites after that link.o Extended bandwidth

Basic Free space loss calculation
A [dB]= 92.4 + 20 log d + 20 log f
Where d = distance in km f = frequency in GHz

Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH)(PDH)
• One frame thus contains one octet of each of the carried channels.
• A frame is transmitted 8000 times each second, yielding a
8* 32 * 8000 = 2 048 000 bps or
2.048 Mbps• The corresponding T1 frame used
in USA contains 24 speech channels with 8-bit coding and 1 framing bit.
{(8*24)+1}*8000=1544000 bps or
1.544 Mbps
• A multi-frame is a series of consecutive frames (16 in Europe, 12 in USA).

• The first PDH multiplex level is E1, containing (as noted before, 30 channels and 2 control channels), 2.048 Mbps.
• The second PDH multiplex level is E2, containing four E1multiplexes (120channels).– The bit rate is 8.448 Mbps, containing frames of 1056bits, (4 *256 bits for the multiplexes and 4 * 8 bits for justification and frame alignment).
• The third PDH multiplex level, E3 contains four E2 multiplexes (called tributaries), yielding 480 channels.
• The fourth PDH multiplex level, E4 contains four E3 multiplexes (1920 channels).

C-QPSKC-QPSK
• QPSK four phases 0, 90,180 and 270 degrees.
• Two symbols per bit can be transmitted. Each symbol’s phase is compared relative to the previous symbol.
• If there is no phase shift (0 degrees), the bits “00” are represented. If there is a phase shift of 180 degrees, the bits “11” are represented.
Modulation: Technique how intelligent signal is transmitted over carrier signal
