Study Notes

Electromagnetic Wave Propagation

  • Mechanisms attributed to electromagnetic wave propagation include:
    • Reflection
    • Refraction
    • Diffraction
    • Scattering

Attenuation of Electromagnetic Waves

  • As the distance between the transmitter and receiver increases, the strengths of electromagnetic waves:
    • Decrease
    • Experience path loss

Diffraction Loss in Urban Areas

  • In urban areas with high-rise buildings, severe diffraction loss in cellular radio systems is caused by:
    • Buildings blocking the line-of-sight (LOS) path
    • Waves diffracting around obstacles, resulting in signal loss

Large-Scale Propagation Models

  • Large-scale propagation models predict that, for an arbitrary transmitter-receiver separation distance:
    • Path loss increases with distance
    • Signal strength decreases with distance

Multipath Fading

  • Multipath fading at a specific location is caused by the interaction between electromagnetic waves, specifically:
    • The combination of direct and indirect waves arriving at the receiver
    • Interference between these waves, resulting in signal fading
