Calculating Link Loss
The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two point-to-multipoint units. The link loss
calculation is presented below:
Link Loss (dB) = Transmit power of the remote wireless unit (dBm)
− Tx Cable loss (dB) − Received
power at the local unit (dBm) – Rx cable loss (dB) + Antenna gain at the remote unit (dBi) + Antenna gain at
the local unit (dBi)
Calculating Rx Signal Level
The Rx sensitivity of each module is provided at

. The determinants in Rx signal
level are illustrated in Figure 17
Figure 17 Determinants in Rx signal level
Rx signal level is calculated as follows:
Rx signal level dB = Tx power
− Tx cable loss + Tx antenna gain
− free space path loss + Rx antenna gain − Rx cable loss
This Rx signal level calculation presumes that a clear line of sight is established between the transmitter and
receiver and that no objects encroach in the Fresnel zone.
