Question: A 5G cellular communications link operating at a center frequency of 5.8 GHz has parameters as listed below. What is the minimum receiver antenna gain

A 5G cellular communications link operating at a center frequency of 5.8 GHz has parameters as listed below. What is the minimum receiver antenna gain required to provide for an operation range of 4 nmi for a linearly polarized reception antenna? Transmitter(i.e cell Tower): Transmitter power: 2 Watt. Cable loss of 3 dB between the transmitter and antenna, Standing Wave Ratio of the antenna: 1.4:1.0, RHCP antenna with RHCP gain of 0 dBic (dB isotropic with respect to RHCP); the antenna is oriented perpendicular to the received wave to maximize the signal received.) Receiver(i.e Handset): Polarization of antenna: Linear (oriented to receive the maximum signal power) Cable loss of 3 dB between the reception antenna and receiver. Standing Wave Ratio of the antenna: 1.4:1.0, Minimum Receiver Sensitivity = -94 dBm. (i.e., the minimum power receiver to make the link work.
