Running the Link Budget Calculator
Figure B-8: Rate selector
If you choose Adaptive Rate, then the Rate list is unavailable as is the
Climate factor list. Both of these quantities are calculated.
Note
The Rate shown, defines the air-interface rate in Mbps. The system
operates in TDD mode and has the overhead of the air-interface pro-
toco.l Thus, the Ethernet actual throughput is provided by the Ethernet
Rate.
For a given air-rate, Ethernet throughput will decrease with increasing range
due to propagation delay.
Note
The Fade margin is the minimum required for LOS conditions. For
degraded link conditions, a larger Fade margin should be used.
The EIRP is given in dBm and Watts.
