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.
