Link Budget Calculator Internal Data
19.2.2 Link Budget Calculator Internal Data
For each product (or Regulation and Band) the calculator stores the following data required
for link budget calculations:
•
Maximum Transmit power (per modulation)
•
Receiver Sensitivity (per modulation) for Ethernet service
•
Maximum linear input power (used to calculate minimum distance)
•
Antenna gain and cable loss for radio unit with integrated antenna
•
Available Channel Bandwidths
