4.2. Calculating the Link Budget
To ensure that the point-to-point radio system works properly, with the expected
availability and performance, you need to perform some path loss calculations
and prepare a link budget. A link budget is an accounting of all the gains and
losses in the “over air” part of the system and allows the planner to establish the
locations and separations of each terminal in the link.
