5. Click Calculate to obtain the required performance estimate.
The Expected Performance parameters are calculated and displayed:
• Expected RSS - the expected RSS that the RADWIN Manager
shows when the RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 ODUs are optimally
aligned
• Ethernet Rate - maximum throughput available for the chosen
parameter combination
• Antenna height for LOS – the minimum antenna height required
for line-of-sight operation. It is the sum of the height required for
boresight clearance due to the earth’s curvature plus the height
required to clear the Fresnel zone
If the expected performance is not suitable for your application, try different
parameters and repeat the calculation.
Note
Placing the cursor in any other calculated field will also update the
calculated results.
