Sensitivity does not change the power level of the received signal.

...also, seriously. You any like it's even possible to compute a link
budget without accounting for sensitivity, MIMO scheme etc. Thinking
dBm and dBi are the only numbers in the equation has me wondering how
experienced you are Adam. You do realize don't you it's impossible to
understand link budget without knowing a whole host of things besides
the output power and antenna gain?

I read that quote before Patrick, and I am forced to wonder if
that individual was in the United States and running at the
correct (legal) power level. And I wonder if he was comparing the
naked 10dbi SM to a 15dbi wimax CPE. You could definitely get
10db more by turning up the tx power all the way and using a
bigger antenna, and maybe you can do some electronic magic to make
a little more out of the signal you're getting, but there's no
magic that makes more db's appear. If both systems started with
the legal +40dbm then how does one end up with 10db more at the CPE?
I'm a skeptic by nature.
Testing back to back between Cambium and Telrad products on the
same tower at the same azimuth, we found an average of 10dB
better RF levels with Telrad’s equipment."
