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]>; "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 5:31 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] formulas behind pathloss+RSSI calculators?
