Approach:
• Use the free – space propagation model on
each ray
• Apply superposition to find the result

The path can be divided
into three segments
1. d < h t
• The two rays add
constructively
• Path loss is slowly
increasing

2. h t < d c
• Wave experiences
constructive and
destructive interference
• Small – scale (Multipath)
fading
• If power is averaged in
this area, the result is a
piecewise linear
approximation
3. d c < d
• Signal power falls off by d – 4
• Signal components only combine destructively

• In segment 1, d < h t power falls off by 1/ h t
• In segment 2, h t < d < d c power falls off by – 20
db/decade
• In segment 3, d c < d, power falls off by – 40
db/decade
• Cell sizes are typically much less than d c and
power falls off by 1/ h t2
Problem 2 – 5
Find the critical distance, d c , under the two – ray model
for a large macrocell in a suburban area with the base
station mounted on a tower or building (h t = 20 m), the
receivers at height h r = 3 m, and f c = 2 GHz. Is this a
good size for cell radius in a suburban macrocell? Why
or why not?

Ten – Ray Model (Dielectric Canyon)
• Assumptions:
• Rectilinear streets
• Buildings along both sides of the street
• Transmitter and receiver heights close to street level
• 10 rays incorporate all paths with 1, 2, or 3 reflections
• LOS (line of sight)
• GR (ground reflected)
• SW (single wall reflected)
• DW (double wall reflected
• TW (triple wall reflected)
• WG (wall – ground reflected)
• GW (ground – wall reflected)

• Okumura model
• Empirically based (site/freq specific)
• Awkward (uses graphs)
• Hata model
• Analytical approximation to Okumura model

• Cost 136 extension to include diffraction from

K = dimensionless constant that depends on the
antenna characteristics and the average channel

d 0 = reference distance for the antenna far field
= path – loss exponent
General approach:
• Take data at three values of d
• Solve for K, d o , and
