Summary: 
This paper proposes a new method for estimating route outage probability in non-regenerative repeater digital microwave radio systems. In this method, the route outage probability is estimated by various means, including path correlation of fading occurrence and C/N degradation corresponding to the number of non-regenerative repeater stations with and without demodulator devices. In the conventional method, the path correlation is treated as 0 and the C/N degradation is taken as a constant value on each path. To confirm the proposed method's effectiveness, a field test is carried out in which 16QAM signals pass through two non-regenerative repeater stations. The results obtained are in good agreement with the estimated outage probability.
