Link Budget Calculation

To do link budget you need to know certain parameters about
1. Tx station: HPA size(db)+ TX Antenna gain(dbi)- Free space loss(200db) + Transponder TX EIRP

2. Rx station: Transponder RX EIRP + LNA gain + Rx Antenna gain

Then you have to specify the bandwidth and send the details to your satellite provider of your choice.
