Antennas: isotropic radiator
Radiation and reception of electromagnetic waves, coupling of
wires to space for radio transmission
Isotropic radiator: equal radiation in all directions (three
dimensional) - only a theoretical reference antenna
Real antennas always have directive effects (vertically and/or
horizontally)
Radiation pattern: measurement of radiation around an antenna

Signal propagation
CS 647 2.17
Multipath propagation
Signal can take many different paths between sender and receiver due
to reflection, scattering, diffraction
multipath
LOS pulses pulses
signal at sender
signal at receiver
Time dispersion: signal is dispersed over time
interference with neighbor symbols, Inter Symbol Interference
(ISI)
The signal reaches a receiver directly and phase shifted
distorted signal depending on the phases of the different parts

Distance d
Transmitter Receiver
The received signal power at distance d:
AeGtPt
Pr =
4d 2
where Pt is transmitting power, Ae is effective area, and Gt is the
transmitting antenna gain. Assume that radiated power is uniformly
distributed over the surface of the sphere.
CS 647 2.19
Antenna Gain
The relationship between an effective aperture and received antenna gain Gr can be
given by:
Gr = 4 Ae / 2
where is the wavelength, and Ae is the effective area covered by the transmitter.
Pr = GrGtPt / (4 d/) 2
Lf = Pt / P r = (1/GrGt) (4 d/) 2
When Gr = Gt=1,
Lf = (4 d/) 2 = (4 f cd/c )2
