Using Statistics to Estimate Link Loss and Power Budget
Statistical models more accurately determine the power budget than standard worst-case methods.
Determining the link loss with statistical methods requires accurate knowledge of variations in the data
link components. Statistical power budget analysis is beyond the scope of this document. For further
information, refer to ITU-T standards and your equipment specifications.
The following publications contain information on determining attenuation and power budget:
•
T1E1.2/92-020R2 ANSI, the Draft American National Standard for Telecommunications entitled
Broadband ISDN Customer Installation Interfaces: Physical Layer Specification.

Power Margin Analysis, AT&T Technical Note, TN89-004LWP, May 1989.
