Editing Fade margin

In [[telecommunications]], the term '''fade margin''' ('''fading margin''') has the following meanings:

*A design allowance that provides for sufficient [[system]] [[Gain (electronics)|gain]] or [[sensitivity (electronics)|sensitivity]] to accommodate expected [[fading]], for the purpose of ensuring that the required [[quality of service]] is maintained.
*The amount by which a [[Signal strength|received signal level]] may be reduced without causing system performance to fall below a specified threshold value. It is mainly used to describe a communication system such as [[satellite]], for example a system like [[globalstar]] operates at 25-35&nbsp;dB Fade margin.
