The receive sensitivities and system gains for each mode are as follows:

Table 28 - Receive Sensitivity and System Gains
The values for Receive Sensitivity are typical values in a flat radio channel for an Ethernet
frame loss rate of 3E-5. For minimum error rates on TDM links the maximum modulation
mode should be limited to 64QAM 0.75.
The un-shaded value above (BPSK) is a static receive sensitivity measurement. The shaded
values above are static receive sensitivity measurements with an AMOD threshold applied.
The AMOD threshold applied is for a benign radio channel.
