Question:
Fading
When no clear line-of-sight path exists, signals are received
that are reflections off obstructions and diffractions around
obstructions
Multipath signals can be received that interfere with each
other
Fixed Wireless Channel → random & unpredictable
must be characterized in a statistical fashion
field measurements often needed to characterize radio
channel performance
Mechanisms that affect the radio propagation ..

Reflection
Diffraction
Scattering
In urban areas, there is no direct line-of-sight path between:
the transmitter and the receiver, and where the presence of
high- rise buildings causes severe diffraction loss.
Multiple reflections cause multi-path fading

Path Loss
Signal attenuation as a positive quantity measured in
dB and defined as the difference (in dB) between the
effective transmitter power and received power.
Friis is an application of the standard “Free Space
Propagation Model “
It
gives the Median Path Loss in dB ( exclusive of
Antenna Gains and other losses )
Friis Free Space Equation

Pt Transmitted power,
Pr(d) Received power
Gt Transmitter antenna gain,
Gr Receiver antenna gain,
d T-R separation distance (m)
L System loss factor not related to propagation
system losses (antennas, transmission lines between equipment
and antennas, atmosphere, etc.)
L = 1 for zero loss
Given;
Largest dimension of antenna, D = 1m
Operating freq, f = 900MHz,
Far-field distance

Solution
(a) TX power in dBm = 10 log10 (Pt/1mW)
= 10 log10 (50/1mW)=47 dBm
(b)
Rx power = Pr(d) = Pt Gt Gr 2 / (4)2 d2 L
Wavelength, = 0.3333333 , GT=Gr = 1, D=100 m, L=1
Pr(100 m) = 3.52167x10-06 W = 3.5x10-3 mW =10log (3.5*10-3)
= -24.5 dBm
Pr(10*1000 m) = 3.5*10-3 /10^4 = 3.5*10-7 mW
Multipath Propagation (NLOS)

Multipath propagation
Signal arrives at Rx through different paths
Paths could arrive with different gains, phase, & delays
Small distance variation can have large amplitude variation

Doppler Effect: When a wave source and a receiver are moving towards
each other, the frequency of the received signal will not be the same as
the source.
When they are moving toward each other, the frequency of the
received signal is higher than the source.

When they are opposing each other, the frequency decreases.
