In my first message I made a mistake and refered to the answer you get as the freespace loss. Your answer will be the received signal strength in dBm instead. Sorry for the mistake. Also, the formula for calculating the pathloss in dB is:
Loss (dB) = 32.4 + 20log(distance in miles) + 20log(freq...
The only value you need is the total output power going to the antenna in dBm. Measure the final power output of your transmitter chain, the end that goes to your antenna, and use that value as the final power value for the formula. The 1db compression point value can be used if you like, or the...
It is. The transmit power refered to in the formula is the power output of your SSPA in dBm. The formula you show is the typical one used to calculate freespace path loss between two locations.
