Lab: Indoor link budget calculator

Lab Scenario: Office Building Link Budget

In this lab you will build a complete indoor link budget for a three-floor office building served by a ceiling-mounted DAS. The exercise walks through each component of the indoor link budget: signal source power from the BTS or remote unit, cable and connector losses through the distribution network, splitter insertion losses at each branching point, and antenna gain at the ceiling-mounted antenna. You will calculate the effective radiated power at each antenna port and determine the maximum coverage radius based on receiver sensitivity and required SINR for a target throughput of fifty…
