Propagation of RF waves can be divided into two main study areas
Large Scale Effects
• due to terrain and the density & dimensions of objects
• includes random destructive interference and diffraction
• characterized statistically by median path loss & log normal shadowing
• behavior is slowly time varying
 important for predicting coverage areas and service availability
Small Scale Effects
• considers fading associated with
(i) superposition of many E-field components caused by local reflections
(ii) changes in interference patterns at mobile receiver
• due to environment local to the receiver and mobility
• behavior varies much faster in time
• often characterized statistically as Rayleigh fading
 important in design of modulation format & general transceiver design

3. Mobile Radio Propagation
• RF channels are random – do not offer easy analysis
• difficult to model – typically done statistically for a specific system
3.1 Introduction to Radio Wave Propagation: diverse mechanisms
of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation generally attributed to
(i) diffraction
(ii) reflection
(iii) scattering
• non-line of sight (NLOS – obstructed) paths rely on reflections
• obstacles cause diffraction
• multi-path: EM waves travel on different paths to a destination –
interaction of paths causes fades at specific locations
3
traditional Propagation Models focus on
(i) transmit model - average received signal strength at given distance
(ii) receive model - variability in signal strength near a given location
4
(1) Large Scale Propagation Models: predict mean signal strength
for TX-RX pair with arbitrary separation
• useful for estimating coverage area of a transmitter
• characterizes signal strength over large distances (102-103 m)
• predict local average signal strength that decreases with distance
signal power commonly computed by averaging measurements over
a measurement track of 5  - 40 
e.g. at 2.4 GHz,  =12.5cm 
• measurement tracks range from 0.625m - 5m
• if 0.625m used, for nth point  use segment between 0.625n & 0.625(n+1)
• take measurements at intervals of 0.1  to 
• averaged measurements = nth point
0.625m
1.25m 1.875m
5
(2) Small Scale or Fading Models: characterize rapid fluctuations of
received signal over
• short distances (few ) or
• short durations (few seconds)
with mobility over short distances
• instantaneous signal strength fluctuates
• received signal = sum of many components from different directions
• phases are random  sum of contributions varies widely
• received signal may fluctuate 30-40 dB by moving a fraction of 

• Ae = effective area of absorption– related to antenna size
Antenna Efficiency
η = Ae/A
A = antenna’s physical area (cross sectional)

• for horn antenna η  50% - 80%

Directional Radiation
practical antennas have gain or directivity that is a function of
• θ = azimuth: look angle of the antenna in the horizontal plane
• = elevation: look angle of the antenna above the horizontal plane
Let Φ = power flux desnity

θ
transmit antenna gain is given by:
GT(θ, ) =
Φ in the direction of (θ, )
Φ of isotropic antenna
receive antenna gain is given by:
GR(θ, ) =
Ae in the direction of (θ, )
Ae of isotropic antenna
12
Principal Of Reciprocity:
• signal transmission over a radio path is reciprocal
• the locations of TX & RX can be interchanged without changing
transmission characteristics
signals suffers exact same effects over a path in either direction in a
consistent order  implies that GT(θ, ) = GR(θ, )
thus maximum antenna gain in either direction is given by

EIRP: effective isotropic radiated power
• represents maximum radiated power available from a transmitter
• measured in the direction of maximum antenna gain as compared to
isotropic radiator
EIRP = PtGiso
(3.4)
ERP: effective radiated power - often used in practice
• denotes maximum radiated power compared to ½ wave dipole
antenna
• dipole antenna gain = 1.64 (2.15dB) > isotropic antenna
• thus EIRP will be 2.15dB smaller than ERP for same system
ERP = PtGdipole

Eg: Area of a parabolic antenna, looking into center-axis given by
beamwidth = angular width of the antenna beam at 3dB points
main lobe = direction of strongest signal propagation
center axis: direction of peak gain
side & back lobes not considered for communications, must be considered

• D = largest physical linear dimension of transmitters antenna aperture
• further df >> D and df >>  must hold

• for any d > d0  Pr(d) can be related to Pr(d0)
Pr(d0) predicted using 3.1 or average of many measurements at
distance d0
• d0 must be selected to lie in far-field region d0  df
• d0 selected to be smaller than any practical d in mobile system
