As Ethernet services and backhaul networks are becoming commonplace, adaptive modulation is becoming more widely used in the microwave backhaul layer. Adaptive modulation offers significant networking benefits which include increased capacity, improved availability, reduce spectrum usage, smaller antenna sizes, and expanded network coverage. At the same time, adaptive modulation introduces new complexities to RF engineering that must be fully considered when deploying an Ethernet backhaul network.
