Tutorial on Basic Link Budget Analysis

Friends..an Intersil document..

Advances in the state-of-the-art have
made wireless technology a more
compelling solution for many consumer
applications. This poses a problem to
many practicing engineers and
technology managers who are unfamiliar with the relevant
concepts and terminology. To add to the confusion, FCC
regulations require the use of Spread Spectrum techniques
for most applications in the unlicensed bands.
This paper is intended to provide the basic concepts
necessary to perform a top level analysis of a wireless link.
In addition, other terms and concepts are briefly described
with should help in understanding some of the system
design issues, including a brief description of Spread
Spectrum techniques. Two examples are given which
demonstrate the influence of range, data rate, and
modulation technique on the radio requirements.
