Most popular in situations where fiber optics or satellite communication is impractical, it is commonly used for cellular or PCS site interconnectivity where digital connectivity is needed but not economically available from other sources, and in private networks where reliability is most important.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUntil now, no book has adequately treated all engineering aspects of microwave communications in the digital age.
