6.3 RF Link Budget Calculations
If you have radio-line-of-sight for your link (as explained in the previous section), then it is easy to
compute the receive-signal-strength at the receiving radio and from there determine if you have an
adequate “fade margin”.
You can use our free “RF Link Budget Calculator”, shown in figure 6.4, to make all the required
computations and evaluate the trade-off between antenna gains, cable losses etc. The calculator is
available on our website at

Figure 6.4: RF Link Budget Calculator
Even though your link is bi-directional, in the calculator Site 1 is viewed as the transmitter and Site 2
as the receiver. If you configure both radios with the same transmit power the results for both
directions are identical. If you configure the transmit power of the two radios to different values you
should compute the link budget in each direction separately.
