Transmission Distance and Power Analysis

This document summarizes transmission distance calculations for a wireless link operating at 11 GHz over 300,000 meters. It calculates the free-space path loss as 162.818 dB and the received power as -67.818 dBm, providing a fade margin of over 20 dB for several modulation schemes. It also calculates the expected rain attenuation along horizontal and vertical polarizations as 3.626 dB and 3.439 dB respectively for a 99.99% availability zone. The document recommends first calculating expected attenuation for a specific link length before assuming a default 20 dB fade margin is necessary.

Technical literature often gives the minimum fade margin of
20 dB. For very long links (more than 10 km) fade margin will,
indeed, be approximately 20 dB. For shorter links, however,
such large margin is not necessary. It is helpful to first
conduct the calculation above to receive an idea of the
attenuation affecting the link.
