60 GHz Modular Antenna Array Link Budget Estimation with WiGig Baseband and Millimeter-Wave Specific Attenuation

Algorithm 1

Link budget estimation when the distance between Tx-MAA and Rx-MAA is m.

Parameter Definition

(i) : MCS Table Index in Table 1;

(ii) : maximum MCS Table Index, i.e.,

if SC-based MCS is used and

if Full MCS is used;

(iii) : Receiver sensitivity of ;

(iv) : Supportable MCS;

(v) : Supportable data rate;

Algorithm Description

if  then

(a) is good enough for maximum MCS and rates, i.e.,

and  Gbps in SC-based MCS; and

and  Gbps in Full MCS
