Link Budget Analysis
6.4.2 Narrowband Link Budget Analysis for a Microcell Application
Table 6-25 Narrowband Link Budget Analysis: Downlink
• c = a + b
• f = c + d + e
• j = g + h + i
• n = k + l + m
• k: in this example, k represents the thermal noise for a TDMA signal, which
has a bandwidth of 30 kHz
• p = f – j – n
