Abstract :
Microwave communications network planning needed network who have the
reliability of a system that works optimally in providing service. But there are times when
network reliability does not work optimally, one of the factors is the interference.
Therefore it is necessary to check interference on the transmission network to analyze the
interference and optimization to eliminate it. To know this then do the simulation of
network design using software Pathloss 5.0. This research was conducted on a network
located in the urban area that occurred in the case of interference link hop Pluit Karang
Barat-Kuningan Barat-Condet, and on the transmission network is in the rural case
interference happens on the links hop Cibadak-Cibolangkaler-Sukabumi. The interference
that occurs causes a decline in availability. Urban areas decline in availability of
0.00313%, and in areas of rural decline of 0.00014% availability. There are several
methods used to eliminate interference cases by replacing the sub band, changing the
antenna polarization, and adding power on the network. By using a different subband on
the network, there was an increase in availability by 0.00313% in urban areas, while in
rural areas there was an increase in availability by 0.00007%. In the method using one
channel (using the same subband) by changing the polarization there is no increase in
availability while when replacing power there is an increase in availability of 0.00198%
in urban areas and 0.00002% in rural areas.
