1.1 representation of a mobile radio signal
We try to understand the mobile radio environment
description of a mobile radio environment, Rician statistical model. If all the reflected wave received at the mobile unit combine to produce a multi path fading signal, this situation is called Rayleigh statistical model.
Field strength representation
as a function of distance in space or as a function of time.
Mobile radio signal representation
the average signal level of the fading signal decreases as the mobile unit moves away from the base station transmitter, calling propagation path loss.
1.2 causes of propagation path loss
In free space , Pr/Pt = 1/( 4*pi*d*f/c)^2,
So, the free space propagation path loss is 6dB/oct, or 20dB/dec
1.3 causes of fading
The received r can artificially separated into two parts by cause, long term fading m and the short term fading ro as r = m*ro
long term fading is the envelop of the fading signal
the long term signal fading m is mainly caused by terrain configuration and the built environment between the base station and the mobile unit.
short term fading r
short term fading is mainly cause by multi path reflections of a transmitted wave by local scatterers such as house.
