Link Budget Calculator

Estimate Wireless Connectivity Performance

L3Harris’ Link Budget Calculator provides systems engineers and other RF data link stakeholders a way to estimate communication systems wireless connectivity performance across various scenarios, hardware configurations, link topologies and atmospheric conditions. It assists the data link engineer in preliminary planning and evaluation of line-of-sight and satellite microwave data links performance.

Key Benefits

Link Budget Calculator provides a signal loss and gain budget based on the user-defined link availability required given as a percentage of time due to path fade statistics. The Link Budget Calculator provides an opportunity to make initial assessments of various link parameters to successfully close intended links.
