Calculates wireless link margin comparing transmit power and gains against path loss and noise. Determines link reliability and range.

सूत्र

Path loss = 20 log10(4πd×f/c)

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Transmit power + antenna gain - cable loss - path loss + receive gain - noise figure = link margin
  2. 2Path loss = 20 log10(4πd×f/c)
  3. 3Positive margin = good signal; negative = insufficient range
  4. 4Typical 10-20 dB margin for reliability

हल किए गए उदाहरण

इनपुट
Tx 30dBm, path loss 100dB
परिणाम
-70dBm rx

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Not accounting for cable losses (2-3 dB typical)
  • Using theoretical max power instead of regulated output

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What's acceptable link margin?

Minimum 3 dB; 10+ dB good; 20+ dB excellent; accounts for fading and interference.

How do I improve link budget?

Increase transmit power, better antennas, lower frequency, shorter distance, or better receiver.
