The radio link performance as described by Roger for Radio Mobile is part of the link budget. The radio link performance describes the performance of the Up- or Downlink.
A practical implementation of a link budget is described in 'How to > Link budget'
The performance of a radio link is calculated as per the following:
T |
Power of the transmitter in dBm 10 log10 (Transmit power in Watts) + 30 |
L1 |
Transmitter line loss in dB |
A1 |
Transmitter antenna gain relative to an isotropic antenna (dBi) |
P |
Radio propagation loss from the Longley-Rice model in dB (including required fade margin) |
A2 |
Receiver antenna gain relative to an isotropic antenna (dBi) |
L2 |
Receiver line loss in dB |
R |
Receiver sensitivity where the voltage is used as provided by a 0 dBd dipole antenna with a impedance of 50 ohm. 20 log10 (Receiver threshold in microvolts) - 107 |
The performance M is expressed in dB as a value over the receive sensitivity of the receiver:
M |
Received signal in dBm - R |
M = (Tx - L1 + A1 - P + A2 - L2 ) - R
The performance can be expressed in S-Units. The S-Units can be configured in 'Options > S-Unit'
