	Note
	Consider the proper fade margin for the radio link design. The larger the fade margin the higher link availability. The fade margin of 20 dB is considered acceptable for most installations with availability 99% or less. The fade margin of 25 dB or higher shall be used for highly reliable systems (99.9% availability).
