Figure D-4: Rate selector
The Rate shown, defines the air-interface rate in Mbps. The system
operates in TDD mode and has the overhead of the air-interface pro-
toco.l Thus, the Ethernet actual throughput is provided by the Ethernet
Rate.
The Fade margin is the minimum required for LOS conditions. For
degraded link conditions, a larger Fade margin should be used.
The EIRP is given in dBm and Watts.
3. If the required range between the two link sites is known, you may enter
it directly. Alternatively, you may enter the latitude and longitude of each
site in the link, in which case the distance between them will be calcu-
lated and displayed.
Note
For a given air-rate, Ethernet throughput will decrease with increasing range
due to propagation delay.
