MIL-STD-188-145

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to set forth mandatory interoperability and performance standards, as well as design objectives for new long-haul and tactical digital line-of-sight (LOS) microwave radio equipment. This document is intended for use in conjunction with other applicable system-oriented documents such as specifications and military handbooks. It is not the purpose of this document to serve as a stand-alone comprehensive reference that contains all technical parameters and other details that are required for the design of new equipment or the preparation of specifications. Statements of such parameters and details are governed by the policies of Department of Defense (DoD) Directive (DoDD) 5000.43. <br>This document applies to the design and development of new digital LOS microwave radio equipment for use in multichannel communications systems. <br>The terms "system standard" and "design objective" are defined in the current edition of FED-STD-1037. In this document, the word "shall" identifies mandatory system standards. The word "should" identifies design objectives that are desirable but not mandatory. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> This standard specifies minimum interoperability and performance characteristics for digital line-of-sight microwave radio equipment to be used in the design and installation of new communications systems and in the authorized upgrading or rehabilitation of existing systems. <br>
