Apologies for that, it went to the wrong list. While the OSI layer 1 characteristics of new PTP microwave bridges are undoubtedly fascinating, such discussion may be a little too fine grained for network operational lists. On Mon, Jul 18, 2016 at 3:52 PM, Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuhnke@gmail.com> wrote:
I found this as well, which is very helpful. Wish more radio manufacturers were as clear about this in the spec sheet:

In one channel, two chains, it's +24, if using two channels and four chains +21 Tx power. Then it's possible to manually do the link budget and path loss calculations based on that (or plug Tx power dBm + dBi gain for preliminary PTP link calculations into something like Radio Mobile).

Eric, I think you’re more looking for SNR required for each modulation coding rate, which care listed here:

Does Mimosa have a table of Tx power vs. modulation level published somewhere? The datasheet just says +27 Tx power, which I am guessing is its Tx power at QPSK modulation or something.
I am doubtful it's +27 at 256QAM with a low-overhead-percentage code rate.
https://www.mimosa.co/uploads/docs/Mimosa-B11-Datasheet.pdf
Is it +17, +18 or +19 Tx at 256QAM?
