Link Budget Calculations
AFAR supplies a Link Budget Calculator (Figure 6.1 below) that allows you to quickly perform some
of the free space path analysis explained later in this section. You can use the calculator for the
following computations:
•
Determine the maximum range for a link.
•
Find out what transmit power you should choose to obtain a desired fade margin.
•
Find the expected Received Signal Strength and Fade Margin in a particular installation.

This calculator is in the CD provided with the radio and can also be downloaded from our website.
