Here is an example. TX power of 30 dBm (1 watt) + 10 dB antenna gain = 40 dBm EIRP - Path loss (say 10 miles at 915 MHz) 116 dB + 10 dB RX antenna gain = -66 dBm RX signal level - Original Message - From: "Chuck McCown - 3" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The article was good for our industry. There are tons of absolute dB readings like dBuV, dBrnc0 and dBspl. I always explain it as simply a logarithmic way of stating a measuring unit like power or force. You could have dBmpg (miles per gallon) if you wanted. A naked dB by itself is nothing

For telcos, that assistance was in the form of CALEA complaint software upgrades for a very few brands of switches. If you were Nortel you were OK. I think the same thing with GTE but the switches we had did not have an FBI supplied software load so we got zero assistance for CALEA. - Origi

We have had the CALEA pain in the telco side for a decade. Believe me, it was much more expensive to become compliant if you were a LEC. Fact of the matter is that the internet is becoming the defacto alternate PSTN network and when you are a public utility you become beholden to the public yo

Thanks for pointing that out. In my mind that was what I was attempting to say. I guess I failed to take it to completion. I was trying to make the point that gain ~~ size~~ beamwidth but only in the broad general case. The FCC is not really caring about gain or size(in these cases); but sinc

Generally speaking, when the FCC specifies antennas they are more interested in the pattern than the gain. Specifically, they have a beamwidth and sidelobe suppression mask that they insist upon. This is always true with satellite uplink dishes. Not totally familiar with the point to point fi
