Appendix C: Link Budget Analysis
Appendix C: Link Budget Analysis
Overview
A radio link budget accounts for all losses and gains in a radio link from the
transmitter to the receiver. Link budget calculations are used to determine the
amount of link margin available for a given radio link. The link budget includes
five components: radio transmit power, antenna gains, cable and path losses,
interference margin, and radio receiver sensitivity. For a reliable link, the receive
power must be greater than the effective receive sensitivity. The link margin is the
difference between received power and effective receive sensitivity. The goal of
link budget calculation is to account for all of the system and path gains and
losses to determine if an adequate link margin is available (see
Figure 31
).
Transmitted and Radiated Power Requirements
FCC and IC regulations for 900 MHz ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical)
band radios such as those used by the SEL-FT50 place limits of +30 dBm on
maximum radio transmit power and +36 dBm on maximum Effective Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP). EIRP is a measure of the amount of power radiated from
the main lobe of the transmitter antenna, and is calculated by using
Equation 1
.
Equation 1
The specified transmit power for radio embedded in the SEL-FT50 includes the
antenna gain. Because there is no method of connecting an SEL-FT50 to an
external antenna, you do not need to be concerned with violating EIRP require-
ments if you do not modify the device.
