General comments

No terrain profile information is available and the following procedure has been used:

No reflection points have been taken into consideration.

It is assumed that the paths have sufficient clearance above near- and far-field obstructions.

The feeder length is assumed to be 10m more than the antenna height.

The performance calculations are valid for normal propagation conditions in the area. Anomalous
propagation conditions causing ducting or other similar problems are not considered in these
performance calculations. The error performance calculations are
based on statistical models and will only be an indication of the system quality.

The applied calculation methods and formulas are given in the Nera document
"Prediction of Transmission Quality on Digital L.O.S. Radio Relays", Rev.B 99.05.01.

ITU-T Rec. G.826

National long haul objectives
Objective info
The long haul inter-exchange network section, including the connections between a primary
centre, secondary centre or tertiary centre and the corresponding international gateway.

Performance objectives (pro rata) used by WEDIG:

SES for no more than: 0.002 x (L/LR + L/500)

The performance objectives in ITU-R Rec.F.1189-1 states the following:

Total allowance : 0.002 x (A1 + FL)
Block allowance: A1
Distance allocation: FL = LR / 500

The value A1 should be in the range 1% to 2%. A1 is set to A1 = 1%.

LR: value of the actual system length rounded up to the next multiple of 500km
L: actual system length

Unavailability objectives (pro rata) used by WEDIG:

Not yet defined by ITU-R. The objectives for "High grade" ITU-R Rec.695 where 1/3 of the total
unavailability is related to rain outage is used.

Unavailability for SES due to rain: less than 0.1 x L / 2500 %

System length:
0 < L < Not defined

NOTE:
Both the performance and the unavailability block and distance allowance objective are scaled
down to pro rata objective values. The objectives for each hop should be treated as information
only . When each hop complies with these pro rata objectives, can such hops later be
incorporated in a larger system without exceeding the objectives for the total system
performance. Hops with higher outage than the pro rata objectives can be accepted.

ITU-T Rec. G.826 definitions:

SES - Severely Errored Seconds - one second with >30% errored blocks or at least one
severely disturbed period.
DM - Degraded Minutes - not defined

Number of seconds per month is 2592000 and per year is 31536000.
