MIMOMAX Radio Bandwidth Calculator
Calculate MIMOMAX radio bandwidth requirements and compare manufacturer-specified gross data rates with available data rates established through testing at a BER of 10⁻⁴ or better.
Engineering Notes
Gross Data Rate vs. Available Data Rate
The gross data rate represents the manufacturer-specified data rate for the selected modulation and channel bandwidth.
The available data rate represents the data rate determined through actual radio testing. These values are based on achieving a BER of 10⁻⁴ or better and may differ from the manufacturer's published available data rate.
Use the Tornado Spec button to view the manufacturer's specified values and compare them with the available data rate determined by testing.
FAQ
What is the difference between Gross Data Rate and Available Data Rate?
Gross Data Rate is the manufacturer-specified data rate for the selected modulation and channel bandwidth. Available Data Rate is based on actual test results meeting a BER of 10⁻⁴ or better.
Why can the Available Data Rate differ from the Gross Data Rate?
The two values are based on different criteria. Gross Data Rate is the manufacturer's specified rate, while Available Data Rate is determined from actual test results using a BER of 10⁻⁴ or better.
What is the Tornado Spec button?
The Tornado Spec button provides the manufacturer's specified data-rate information for comparison with the calculated and tested values.
