Propagation Mechanisms
Reflection
Propagation wave impinges on an object which is large as
compared to wavelength
- e.g., the surface of the Earth, buildings, walls, etc.
Diffraction
Radio path between transmitter and receiver
obstructed by
surface with sharp irregular edges
Waves bend around the obstacle, even when LOS (line of sight)
does not exist
Scattering
Objects smaller than the wavelength of the
propagation wave
- e.g. foliage, street signs, lamp posts

Antenna Gain
For a circular reflector antenna
Gain G = ( D / )2
= net efficiency (depends on the electric field distribution over the
antenna aperture, losses, ohmic heating , typically 0.55)
D = diameter
thus, G = ( D f /c )2, c = f (c is speed of light)
Example:
Antenna with diameter = 2 m, frequency = 6 GHz, wavelength = 0.05 m
G = 39.4 dB
Frequency = 14 GHz, same diameter, wavelength = 0.021 m
G = 46.9 dB
* Higher the frequency, higher the gain for the same size antenna

The signal from the transmitter may be reflected from
objects such as hills, buildings, or vehicles.
