The main cost factor in a microwave network depends on tower structure and antenna heights. Antenna heights are normally chosen to overcome the first Fresnel zone obstruction. A software tool for the analysis and evaluation of a single microwave relay link has been developed. In addition, cost optimization method for a microwave radio network involving more than two antennas has been developed.
