Link-budget analysis Clause Samples
Link-budget analysis. The requirements and specifications summarized in the previous section are derived from the following link-budget analysis. To begin with, we consider the elementary study of single-layer OFDM transmission. In Table 1, the link-budget calculation is shown. We include realistic loss figures (however, yet to be verified during the experimental tests) at transmitter and receiver side to account for front-end (RF and digital) non-ideality (e.g., EVM, RX noise figure and TX- FE losses). It can be noticed that under this system model, the range requirements (200m) is likely to be achieved be achieved with 64 QAM modulation (or lower) and array gain of 22.76 dBi.
