Compact troposcatter station for transhorizon communication

The results of the development of a modern domestic compact troposcatter radio relay station, both general and special purpose (dual purpose) are presented. The station is characterized by low power consumption, compact dimensions and low weight due to the use of the newest element base of microelectronics in extremely high frequency range, modern radio technologies for the formation and transmission of radio signals through the troposcatter channel. The station has following main technical characteristics: operating frequency range -4.4-5.0 GHz; maximum data rate of reception/transmission of the digital information stream is up to 8 Mbps; protocol and interface for data transmission is IP (TCP/IP), Ethernet; there is a built-in system of functional control without radiation in the air; a range of the radio link is up to 120 km.
