4Xmtr PowerXmtr PowerReal NumberPowerThe RF power output of the transmitter as measured at the input to the antenna. This is a user selectable value.
5Xmtr GainXmtr GainReal NumberRatioThe antenna gain of the transmitter which is dependent on the antenna type selected. For transmitter models that do not have an antenna model, this is a user defined value. For the simple source transmitter, 0 dB is reported since the simple source transmitter is modeled as an isotropic radiator.
6EIRPEIRPReal NumberPowerThe effective isotropic radiated power in the link direction. This value is the product of the transmitter power and the transmitter gain in the link direction with the inclusion of user defined post transmit gains and losses.
7Xmtr Azimuth - PhiXmtr Azimuth - PhiReal Number or TextAngleThe transmitter azimuth (Phi) is the angle between the transmitter body +x axis and the x-y projection of the link vector.
8Xmtr Elevation - ThetaXmtr Elevation - ThetaReal Number or TextAngleThe transmitter elevation (Theta) is the angle between the transmitter antenna bore-sight vector and the link vector.
9Rcvr Azimuth - PhiRcvr Azimuth - PhiReal Number or TextAngleThe receiver azimuth (Phi) is the angle between the receiver body +x axis and the x-y projection of the link vector.
10Rcvr Elevation - ThetaRcvr Elevation - ThetaReal Number or TextAngleThe receiver elevation (Theta) is the angle between the receiver antenna bore-sight vector and the link vector.
11Rcvd. FrequencyRcvd. FrequencyReal NumberFrequencyThe received frequency is the frequency that the receiver is tuned to in order to communicate with the transmitter. This frequency may be auto-tracked or entered by the user in the receiver properties.
12Rcvd. PowerRcvd. PowerReal NumberPowerThe power at the receiver after the receiver antenna gain is added (in dBW). It is equal to the EIRP in the receiver direction with all the channel losses as well as the bandwidth overlap and receiver gain applied.
13Rcvr GainRcvr GainReal NumberRatioReceiver Gain is the antenna gain (in dBi) of the receiver which is dependent on the antenna type used.
14Rcvr NormGainRcvr NormGainReal NumberUnitlessThe normalized gain of the receiver is the ratio of the gain in the link direction to the max gain of the receiver's antenna.
15Rcvr LossRcvr LossReal NumberRatioReceiver loss is the propagation loss through the channel between the transmitter and receiver.
16Bandwidth OverlapBandwidth OverlapReal NumberRatioThe bandwidth overlap factor is the fraction (between 0 and 1) of transmitted power which is contained within the receiver's bandwidth. The amount of power received by the receiver is equal to the transmitted EIRP multiplied by the bandwidth overlap factor and taking into account any propagation losses.
17Pwr Flux DensityPwr Flux DensityReal NumberPowerFluxDensityThe interference power from an individual interference source, crossing a unit area normal to the direction of wave propagation and computed over a reference bandwidth of either 1 MHz, 40 kHz, 4 kHz, or 1 Hz.
