Task1

Let a transmitter transmits a BPSK signal with 10W power, the

receiver is at d m away from the transmitter. Consider the channel
between transmitter and receiver is Rayleigh faded. Design a
simulation model to investigate the following:
i. Find the received signal power if d varies from 1m to 8m
considering n = 2.
ii. Find path-loss for the given scenario.
iii. Compare the impact of path-loss exponent for n = 2, and
3 on the performance (received signal and path-loss).
iv. Investigate the same with transmit power 5W. Write your
observations.
Aim:
To show the impact of distance and path-loss exponent on the
received signal power and path-loss for a BPSK transmission.

Output:
Inference:

Some inferences which may be drawn from the above obtained graph are:
• The received power decreases as we move away from the receiver.
• The received power decreases more rapidly with the increase in the
path loss exponent for example in case of Ps =10,
When n=2, the received power is 6.423dB when distance is 1.368m
When n=3, the received power is 5.097dB when distance is 1.368m
• There is an effect in the path loss as well, it is more when the path
loss exponent is large and finally tend to saturate when distance is
large, for example when Ps=10
If n=2, the path loss is 8.161dB when distance is 3.121m
If n=3, the path loss is 8.705dB when distance is 3.121m
