Why are microwave link antennas mounted on towers?

  • A.Towers reduce the interference from other users nearby
  • B.Elevation improves the antenna's efficiency and gain
  • C.The equipment must be kept away from people for safety
  • D.Height extends the horizon and clears local obstacles

Answer: D

Raising the antennas pushes the horizon further and lifts the beam clear of buildings and trees so that the Fresnel zone is unobstructed, which is usually the dominant consideration in siting. Interference and safety are secondary benefits, and antenna gain is a property of the structure rather than of its height. The height of a tower is bought to satisfy a geometric requirement, and calculating that requirement precisely is what a path profile is for.
