Abstract
In the design of wireless communication links between two sites, issues of range, that is, how far the transmitted signal would go given certain transmission parameters, and the throughput of such link, are of great concern to the radio engineer such that several loss factors militating against the strength of the transmitted signal as it travels through the medium to the receiver were given holistic consideration in this work. Major loss factors like antenna feeder loss, antenna mismatch loss, propagation path loss, signal polarization loss, multipath propagation loss, obstruction loss and diffraction loss were discussed. Efforts at reducing the presence and effects of these losses on transmitted signal in a radio link would greatly enhance the efficiency of the transmission system.
