Lecture 5 Path Calculation

This document discusses path calculation and signal propagation for wireless communications. It covers near-field and far-field propagation regions, free space loss calculation, and an example problem calculating transmission loss and received power over a 5000km link using a 2000MHz signal.

STEP 4: Path Calculation

Making sure that the received


signal will be above threshold level
often this level is the fade margin
(FM) improvement threshold of the
FM receiver. To this level a margin
is set for signal fading under all
anticipated climatic condition.

FAR-FIELD (Fraunhoper Region)

2
NEAR-FIELD (Fresnel
Region)
Energy is not uniform across the antenna in
this region and does not have a fixed value
with distance but varies a mean value.

Solution
(a)FSdB = 32.5 + 20log10 dKm + 20log10fMHz
FSdB=32.5+20log10(5000)+20log10(2000)
FSdB=172.5dB

(b)Pr/Pt=GTGR(/4d2)2
(Pr/Pt)dB=GT(dB)+GR(dB)-FSL(dB)
=15+45172.5
(Pr/Pt)dB=-112.5dB
Pr/Pt=log-1(-112.5/10)
Pr/Pt=5.62x10-12
P =5.62x10

(200W)=1.12nW
