Abstract We propose a solvable model of topological characteristics for a microwave signal transmitting system, which is named as a repairable linear m-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system with l repairers. It is assumed that both the working time and repair time of each component are exponentially distributed, and the repair is perfect. The transition rate matrix is determined by defining the generalized transition probability. Furthermore, some important reliability indices are evaluated. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated by a numerical example. The results are helpful to guide the stability of network nodes and the reliability of microwave signal transmitting systems.
