1. Derive the Free-Space Loss (FSL) expression.

1.1 If power Pt is transmitted by an antenna with gain Gt , write an expression for the
power density S at a distance d from an antenna.

1.2 If the effective area of the receiver antenna is A, write an expression for the received
power Pr .

 λ2 Gr 
1.3 Using the above expressions and A =   , derive an expression for the free space
 4π 
loss. Assume Gt = 1 and Gr = 1 .

1.4 Convert your FSL equation to dB and obtain the following equation.

FSL = 32 .4 + 20 log 10 ( f ) + 20 log 10 ( d )

2. The transmission power of a mobile equipment is 1 W and the transmission frequency


is 1800 MHz. Considering only the free-space loss, find the received power at a distance
of 1.5 km.
