Link Budget Examples
For the stations as a first try we use 2.4m antennas on every site. Then the station parameters
are given by:
Figure 3-36 Scenarion 1 - 2 Carrier Solution Stations
Now we calculate the link budget under the constraint that the power requirement for every site
should not exceed 30 W. That allows the use of following modulation and coding choices and
resulting bandwidths:
Table 3-6 Scenario 1 - Carrier Coding and Bandwidth
The power requirements for the individual earth stations can be summarized in following table:
