Calculating Range & Clearance
The Dynamic Range Budget
D-6 Outdoor Antenna Installation Guide
To read Table D-3 correctly:
• Use the Dynamic Range Budget value that you read from
either Table D-1 or Table D-2.
• Locate this value in Table D-3:
— Values marked with an asterisk (*) in Table D-3 correspond
to Dynamic Range Budgets for 1-Mbit/s link-speed
connections.
— All other values correspond to Dynamic Range Budgets for
2-Mbit/s link-speed connections.
—Values in Bold apply only to FCC regulated countries.
