Abstract: Microwave link design is assuming a software approach that eliminates the rigours of conventional methods, fastens design procedures and provides for optimized communications systems. In this study therefore, computer-aided technique to determine the position of the reflection point is presented. The importance of reflection point in the overall system design of microwave relay links is highlighted. A brief description between reflected and direct wave is introduced vis-à-vis the physical application of reflection point. The use of software to generate Tabless for various combinations of antenna heights to optimize design time is included. The Tabless generated by the software conform with known theory thus proving the efficacy and efficiency of the software developed. Recommendations for further works are also stated.
