HEISHA T30 30km wireless video transmitter a joke or surprise?

Since T30 was released, we received a lot of questions. Here are a few concrete examples.

Customer 1：

T30 radio link claims to achieve 30 km? 

At 5.8 GHz, the 30 km free-space path loss is over 137 dB. With a TX power of 23 dBm, RX sensitivity of -80 dBm, and antenna gains of 10 dBi (for both sides), your total link budget is 113 dB.  Such a budget could never achieve above 2 km range, and your data sheet shows “Line of sight range” = 1 km+. So where does 30 km come from? That is impossible unless with very large antennas and an antenna tracker.

Customer 2：

I am an engineer with more than 10 years in the wireless communication industry. According to my theoretical calculation, your T30 is impossible can reach a 30km transmission range with 200mW and 5.8GHz, but your company is unlikely to launch a fake product. Could you send one sample to test, if it is good, I will pay.

The answer from Heisha:

The equation below shows the path loss for a free space propagation application. It can also be used when calculating or estimating other paths as well. 

FSPL (dB)=20lg(d)+20lg(f)+32.44

Where:
       d = distance of the receiver from the transmitter (km)
        f = signal frequency (MHz)

 FSPL = Free space path loss

We calculate HEISHA T30 with this formulate: 

d=30

F=5.8

FSPL (dB) = 20*lg(30) + 20lg(5.8) + 32.44 =20*1.48 +20*0.76+32.44=77.24

Based on the parameter of T30, the transmitter power is 23dB and the receiving sensitivity is -70dB, so the sum 93dB is greater than the path loss 77.24dB between a transmitter and a receiver.
