• Multi-path Loss
•Terrain Sensitivity
For a Specified Annual System Reliability for an unprotected and non-diversity system,
Fade Margin Fm is defined as (Solving Barnett-Vignant Reliability Equations):
MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM GAIN
Fade Margin or Link Margin can be considered as a “fudge factor” in Gs equation to cope
with non-ideal and hard to predict nature of Radio Wave Propagation
Example 13.2: (Use Equation 13.8, 13. 13, 13.14, and Table 13.3)
MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM GAIN
Receiver Threshold or Receiver Sensitivity is the required Minimum Wideband Carrier
Power (Cmin) at the input of Rx that provides a usable baseband output
• Noise Factor and Noise Figure: Figures of merit used to measure the deterioration of S/N as
a signal passes thru a system
