Link Budget
3 June 2008
Link budget is actually the sum of all the losses between: Transmitter - Satellite & back down to a Receiver. These losses are reduced by any gain you have at the transmitter, satellite or receiver. So in order to see if your signal is still going to be big enough to use after it has been sent to a receiver via satellite, the gains and losses are effectively added together and the result will be the net gain or loss. A loss means your signal has got smaller, and a gain means it has got bigger.
