2. Calculate the (P
M
) by subtracting (LL) from (P
B
):
P
B
– LL = P
M
(13 dBm) – (0.5 dBm [HOL]) – ((5) * (0.5 dBm)) – ((2) * (0.5 dBm)) – ((2 km) *
(1.0 dBm/km)) – (1 dB [CRM]) = P
M
13 dBm – 0.5 dBm – 2.5 dBm – 1 dBm – 2 dBm – 1 dBm = P
M
P
M
= 6 dBm
The calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission. Also, the power margin value does not exceed the maximum
receiver input power. Refer to the specification for your receiver to find the maximum
receiver input power.
