factors, see your vendor documentation for that equipment.
2. Calculate the (P
M
) by subtracting (LL) from (P

):
P

– 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 specifications for your receiver to find the maximum receiver input power.
