Function for plotting characteristics of topology of commercial microwave link network.

Description

Function for plotting characteristics of topology of commercial microwave link data. This function provides the following figures:

1. Bar plot with percentage of links for bins of link path length (km).

2. Bar plot with percentage of links for bins of microwave frequency (GHz).

3. Bar plot with percentage of links for bins of orientation (degrees).

4. Scatter plot of microwave frequency (GHz) versus link path length (km).

5. Scatter density plot of microwave frequency (GHz) versus link path length (km).

Does not depend on sampling strategy.

The input microwave link data do not have to be sorted chronologically. Full-duplex links will give two data entries, these will both be used.

The computed percentages in the bar plots are only based on the range of classes presented in the bar plots, i.e. data outside these classes are not used in the computations.

When Rmean is provided, all figures are only based on data where the link-derived rainfall intensities are equal to or larger than 0 mm h^{-1}. Note that Data object must be preprocessed by function ”PreprocessingMinMaxRSL” if Rmean is provided.
