    Fade Margin

    Uploaded by

    Michael Macatangay
    The document describes how to calculate the fade margin (FM) for microwave radio links using either metric or English units. It provides the fade margin calculation formulas for both cases and defines the variables. It then works through examples of calculating the fade margin for 6 sample radio links using the provided information about frequency, distance, terrain factors, and reliability.
