摘要

Antenna array gain is a relative measure of performance defined differently in various literature. Most definitions of gain are not power consistent, and thus cannot be used directly in link budget analysis. In this short paper, we present a power correction factor for common definitions of power gain of antenna arrays that allows them to be used in standard link budget calculations.
