Link Budget

Calculate RF link budget: transmit power, free space path loss, antenna gains, and received signal level. Determine link margin and maximum range.

Free-Space Path Loss

Calculate free-space path loss (FSPL) using the Friis transmission equation for wireless link budget analysis

EIRP / ERP

Calculate Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and ERP from transmit power, cable loss, and antenna gain. Check compliance against FCC, ETSI, and ISM-band regulatory limits.
