1) Under the free-space path-loss model, find the transmit power required to obtain a received power
of 1 dBm for a wireless system with isotropic antennas (Gl = 1) and a carrier frequency f = 5
GHz, assuming a distance d = 10 m. Repeat for d = 100 m.

2) Plot the received power for the following transmission using two ray model for the distance
interval 0 to 1000 m:

3) Consider a receiver with noise power −160 dBm within the signal bandwidth of interest. Assume
a simplified path-loss model with d0 = 1 m, K obtained from the free-space path-loss formula
with omnidirectional antennas and fc = 1 GHz, and γ = 4. For a transmit power of Pt = 10 mW,
find the maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver such that the received signal-to-
noise power ratio is 20 dB.

Problem 1
Under the free-space path-loss model, find the transmit power required to obtain a received power of
1 dBm for a wireless system with isotropic antennas (Gl = 1) and a carrier frequency f = 5 GHz,
assuming a distance d = 10 m. Repeat for d = 100 m.

omnidirectional antennas and fc = 1 GHz, and γ = 4. For a transmit power of Pt = 10 mW, find the
maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver such that the received signal-to-noise power
ratio is 20 dB.
