Any radiation structure produces electric and magnetic fields.The
mobile radio channel places fundamental limitations on the performance of wireless communication systems
Mobile radio path is severely obstructed by buildings, mountains, and foliage
Radio channels are extremely random and do not offer easy analysis
The speed of motion impacts how rapidly the signal level fades as a mobile terminals moves in the space
Mechanisms for wave propagation Mechanisms affect radio wave propagation are: Reflection Diffraction Scattering In urban areas, there is no direct line-of-sight path between the transmitter and the receiver, and where the presence of high- rise buildings causes severe diffraction loss. Multiple reflections cause multi-path fading Large Scale Propagation Models
Propagation models are usually required to predict the average received signal strength at a given distance from the transmitter and estimating the coverage area (averaged over meters) Small-Scale models (fading models)
Propagation models that characterize rapid fluctuations of the received signal strength over very short travel distances (few wavelengths) or short time duration (on the order of seconds) consider a small linear radiator of lenght L that is placed concident with the z- axis and has its center at the origin as shown in the figure: relating power to electric field Thank You
