Visibility & Losses
The Visibility (or visual range) is defined as that distance where the
radiance of a visible light source is reduced to 1/50 of its initial
value:
V(in km) = ln 50/ (in km-1)
In FSO, scattering and absorption losses are represented in dB/km(S)
so:
S(dB/km) ≈ 17/V(km)

Fade Margin Calculation
Fade Margin calculation
AB
• Loss Factor = L.F. = 10 log AB/AR [dB]
AR
-AB = Beam area; AR = Receiver area
-AB ~ R2HV where
-H = azimuth angle
AB
-V = elevation angle, R = distance
 Loss Budget = L.B. = 10 log PB/Pt [dB]
H
AR
-PB = Power in the beam
-Pt = Threshold power
R
 Fade Margin = F.M. = L.F. - L.B. [dB]
