2.3.2.1 Receiver Sensitivity
Table 4 presents typical receiver sensitivity specs of the Quantum 6600 Base Station. Note that
sensitivity will be correspondingly less on models with fewer than 6 antennas. Note that the values
presented are measured over the entire channel bandwidth, as opposed to WiMAX Radio
Conformance Test (RCT) type measurements, which are measured over only a fraction of the channel
bandwidth.

2.3.2.2 Computing EIRP Power
Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) refers to the transmit power radiating out of the antenna. The
accurate computation of EIRP is essential to proper network planning and to ensuring that the system
meets local and regional maximum power regulations.
