Appendix B: About Antennas B.1 Scope of this Appendix This appendix provides some basic information and considerations regarding antennas and what you need to take into account when configuring antenna parameters. B.1 Antenna Issues The choice of Tx Power, antenna gain and cable loss (between the radio and the antenna) determines the EIRP and is affected by such considerations as radio limitations and regulatory restrictions.
Scope of this Appendix The Tx Power (per radio) indicates the power of each radio inside the ODU and is used for Link Budget Calculations. The Tx Power (System) shows the total transmission power of the radio and is used to calculate the EIRP according to regulations. • The Max EIRP level will be automatically set according to the selected band and regulation. The inequality (*) above is always satisfied by the system in accordance with the relevant regulation.
