I am confused while calculating a long range wireless link. Could u please check whether it's correct or not and if not then where i am wrong.
This is the mathematics that I have done . Please let me know if it's correct.
( I have assumed no Fresnel Effect and LOS acheivable between the two sites)
The link to be established is 70 miles.
d=70
Equipment :
Access Point Gain 23 db
Receiver Sensivity of the Access Point
11 Mbps <-87dbm 5.5 Mbps <-90dbm 2 Mbps <-93dbm 1 Mbps <-95dbm
Mesh Parabolic Antenna: 21 dbi Amplifier = 18 dbm
Calculations: Loss in Air = 20 log(d) +20 log (f) +36.6
Assuming f=2437 mhz ( channel 6) , we have,
Loss in Air= 141.2
Gain Between the Radios= Access Point (Gain) + Amplifier + Antenna
=2 * (23+21+ 18 )= 124
Losses= Cable+Connector+Aresstor =2.97+2.97=5.94
Total=Gains-Losses=124-5.94=118.06
Perceived Signal Level= 118.06-141.2=-23.14
Now since it's above the receiver sensivity of the access point, therefore will 11 mbps or atleast 5 mbps be possible.
Is this correct.
But my confusion is that if we increase the length to say 150 miles , then in this case:
Total Signal Loss in Air ( using the same formula)= 147.82
Now using the same equipment all the place, the Total Perceived Signal is :
118.06-147.82=29.76
In this case also, it should transmit at 11 mbps.
I am dead confused.
please help...
