2. What is propagation?
How radio waves travel between two
points?
They generally do this in four ways:
• Directly from one point to another
• Follow the curvature of the earth
• Become trapped in the atmosphere and traveling
longer distances
• Refracting off the ionosphere back to earth.
7. Ground Wave Propagation
• Follows contour of the earth
• Can Propagate considerable distances
• Frequencies up to 3 MHz
• Example
– AM radio
8. Ground-Wave Propagation
• At frequencies up to about 3 MHz, the most
important method of propagation is by ground waves
which are vertically polarized. They follow the
curvature of the earth to propagate far beyond the
horizon. Relatively high power is required.

9. Ground-Wave
• Radio waves follow the Earth’s surface
• AM broadcasts during the day
• Works best at lower frequencies (40, 80, and
160 meters)
• Relatively short-range communications
10. Sky Wave Propagation
• Signal reflected from ionized layer of atmosphere
back down to earth
• Signal can travel a number of hops, back and forth
between ionosphere and earth’s surface
• Reflection effect caused by refraction
• Examples
– Amateur radio
– CB radio
12. Line-of-Sight
• Signals travel in a straight line from
transmitting to receiving antenna
• Useful in VHF and UHF ranges
• Television, AM/FM broadcast
• Signals are easily reflected, causing problems
with mobile operation
13. Line-of-Sight Propagation
• Transmitting and receiving antennas must be within
line of sight
• Refraction – bending of microwaves by the
atmosphere
– Velocity of electromagnetic wave is a function of the
density of the medium
– When wave changes medium, speed changes
– Wave bends at the boundary between mediums
15. MOBILE RADIO PROPAGATION
• Mobile radio channel is an
important controlling factor in wireless
communication systems.
• Transmission path between transmitter and
receiver can vary in complexity.
• LOS (Line Of Sight) Simplest
16. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE
PROPAGATION MODELS
With propagation models, we can
•Provide installation guidelines
•Mitigate interference
•Design better wireless system
17. •Wired channels are stationary and
predictable; radio channels are extremely
random and have complex models.
•Modeling of radio channels is done in
statistical fashion based on measurements for
each individual communication system or
frequency spectrum.
MOBILE RADIO PROPAGATION
18. Propagation Models
Aim:
• To predict the average received
signal strength at a given distance
from the transmitter -
Large scale propagation models,
hundreds or thousands of meters.
• To predict the variability of the
signal strength, at close spatial
proximity to a particular location -
Small scale or fading models.

32. Introduction
• The mobile radio channel places fundamental
limitations on the performance of wireless
communication systems
• Path may be
LOS
NLOS Obstructed by buildings, hills, foliage, cars on
streets etc.
• Radio Channels are random and time varying
• Modelling radio channels have been one of the
difficult parts of the mobile radio design.
33. Propagation Basics
• When electrons move, they create EM waves that can
propagate through space.
• By attaching an antenna of the appropriate size to an
electrical circuit EM waves can be broadcast efficiently and
received by a receiver at some distance away.
• The radio, microwave, infrared and visible light portions of
EM spectrum can be used to disseminate information.
Information can be sent by modulating amplitude, frequency or
phase of the waves
34. Properties of Radio Waves
• Easy to be generated
• Travel long distances (Without Loss)
• Penetrate buildings.
• May be used for both indoor and outdoor
communication
• Omni directional- can travel in all directions
• Can be narrowly focused at high frequencies (greater
than 100Mhz) using parabolic antennas.
35. ANTENNA BASICS
• THE FREE SPACE RECEIVED POWER IS GIVEN
BY FRIIS FREE SPACE EQUATION
• d- Distance at which signal is received
• L- System loss factor (nothing to do with
propagation)
• Received power is dependent on all the above factors.

36. Frequency Dependence
• Behave like light at higher frequencies
• Difficulty in passing Obstacles.
• Rectilinear Property: More direct paths (Straight line
paths)
• Absorbed by rain, fog particles.
• Behave more like radio at lower frequencies
• Can pass obstacles at lower frequencies
• Power falls off sharply with distance from source.
• Subject to interference from other radio wave
sources.
38. Basics of Mobile Radio Propogation
• VLF,LF,MLF bands radio waves follow ground.
AM radio broadcasting uses MF band.
• Surface of earth acts as a guide (curvature taken
into consideration).
• AT HF ground waves tend to be absorbed by
earth.So we go for ionospheric propagation
39. BASICS OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION
• Modeling the radio channel is typically done
in statistical manner
• The statistical modeling is done based on
measurement data made specific for
The intended communication system .
The intended spectrum.
40. BASICS OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION
• however for higher frequencies(>10Ghz)
deterministic modeling is used as statistical
modeling starts failing.
• By playing with the antenna(tilting and
changing the height coverage area can be
controlled.

44. BASICS ANTENNA(2)
• An isotropic radiator is an ideal antenna that
radiates power with unit gain uniformly in all
directions. It is the reference antenna in wireless
systems.
• The effective isotropic radiated power(eirp) is
defined as EIRP=PTGT

45. BASICS ANTENNA
• Since the dipole antenna has a gain of
1.64(2.15db)
• In practice antenna gains are given in the units
of dbi
(db with respect to an isotropic source )

• FRISS Free space model is valid in the far
field or fraunhofer region.
• Fraunhofer distance is defined as df =2d2

• we must also have df>> D and df>>n
48. Basics antanna
• THE FRISS free space equation does not hold
for d=0
• Hence we use a close-in power reference at a
distance do.
• The reference distance do is chosen such that do
>df
• thus Pr(d)=Pr(do)log(do/d)2

55. • Reflection occurs when the electromagnetic wave
impinges on an object which has very large
dimension as compared to wavelength .Eg. surface of
earth ,building etc.
• Diffraction occurs when the radio path between the
transmitter and receiver is obstructed by a surface that
has sharp irregularities.
Propagation mechanisms
Explains how radio signal can travel
urban and rural environments without a
line of sight.
56. Propagation mechanisms
• Scattering occurs when the medium has
objects that are smaller or comparable to the
wavelength.(small objects, water droplets dust
particles etc.
Transmitting and receiving antennas must be within line of sight
Satellite communication – signal above 30 MHz not reflected by ionosphere
Ground communication – antennas within effective line of site due to refraction
A brief discussion about refraction is warranted. Such as light or radio wave travels at approximately . Vacuum
If moving from a less dense to a more dense medium, the wave will bend toward the more dense medium. Shorter and bent
Continuous, gradual bending
