TH-3 medium-haul application: System considerations

The medium-haul application of TH-3 was developed to provide an economically attractive system of moderate length and cross section without seriously compromising performance. To achieve high-quality transmission the radio transmitter-receiver bays and FM terminals common to the long-haul plant were used. Supporting equipment was both designed and adapted specifically for the medium-haul application in order to keep overall costs to a minimum.
