## How a Link Budget Works

A link budget adds up all gains and subtracts all losses between transmitter and receiver to find the received power.

### Formula

**P_rx = P_tx + G_tx + G_rx - L_path - L_misc**

**Link Margin = P_rx - Receiver Sensitivity**

A positive link margin means the link will work. Engineers typically design for 10-20 dB of margin to account for fading and environmental variation.

Exemplo Resolvido

30 dBm transmitter, 15 dBi antennas on each end, 120 dB path loss, 3 dB misc losses, receiver sensitivity -90 dBm.

  1. Received power: 30 + 15 + 15 - 120 - 3 = -63 dBm
  2. Link margin: -63 - (-90) = 27 dB
  3. Link is viable with 27 dB margin
