Example
A mobile is located 5 km away from a base station. and uses a
vertical /4 monopole antenna with a gain of 2.55 dB to receive
cellular radio signals. The E field at 1 km from the transmitter is
measured to be 10
-3
V/m. The carrier frequency used is 900 MHz.
(a) Find the length and gain of the receiving antenna
(b) Find the received power at the mobile using the 2-way ground
model assuming the height of the transmitting antenna is 50 m and
receiving antenna is 1.5 m above the ground.

34
Using the table,
F(v) = 20 log (0.225/2.74)
=>
20 log (Ed/ E0) = 20 log (0.225/2.74)
= -22 dB
Loss = 22 dB.
35
Scattering
When a radio wave impinges on a rough surface, the reflected energy
is spread out or diffused in all directions.
Ex., lampposts and foliage
The scattered field increases the strength of the signal at the receiver

37
Practical Link Budget
Most radio propagation models are derived using a combination of
analytical and empirical models.
Empirical approach is based on fitting curves or analytical expressions
that recreate a set of measured data.
Advantages
Takes into account all propagation factors, both known and
unknown.
Disadvantages
New models need to be measured for different environment or
frequency.
Over many years, some classical propagation models have been
developed, which are used to predict large-scale coverage for mobile
communication system design.

Log-normal Shadowing

loss.
Surrounding environment may be vastly different at two locations

path loss exponent n.

greater than 60 dBm.
