Link Budget
It is used to calculate fade margin which is used to estimate the
performance of radio link system.
Link budget includes the calculation of all losses and gains of the
signal between the transmiAer output and the receiver input.
Items related to the link budget:
TransmiAed power
Received power
Transmission line losses
Antenna gains
Free-space loss
Atmospheric absorption losses
From the link budget, the received signal level and the fade
margin can be computed (fading is ignored)
COUPLING LOSS
RADOME LOSS

Receiver Threshold
minimum wideband carrier power Receiver Sensitivity
at the receiver input that will
provide a usable baseband output
S
Rth = + N + NF
minimum receiver input power N
necessary to achieve a given
reliability and quality objective
kTB
N(dBm) = 10 log
also called receiver sensitivity.
1 mW
always has a negative value,
typically from 70 dBm to 90 dBm
Rth = receiver threshold (dBm)
103 value of BER is used for the fade S/N = required signal-to-noise
margin
ratio at the receiver input (dB)
N = thermal noise power (dBm)
106 value of BER is used as NF = noise gure in the receivers
minimum quality level for data
front-end (dB)
