Wireless Communication - Two-Ray Model

This document describes the two-ray model, which is a basic model for radio signal propagation in mobile environments. The two-ray model considers both the direct line-of-sight path between the transmitting and receiving antennas as well as the indirect path where the signal reflects off the ground. The document provides illustrations of the two-ray model and notes it is well-suited for systems using tall towers over 50 meters or for line-of-sight microcell systems in urban areas. It also gives the equation for calculating the total received electric field based on the direct and reflected components.

TWO-RAY MODEL AS A BASIC

MODEL FOR MOBILE RADIO


ENVIRONMENTS
PREPARED BY : NOR FARHANAH BINTI MOKHSIN
MATRIC NO. : 09DEP14F1010

Understand the Two-ray


model as a basic model for
mobile radio environments
with an illustration.
a model where the receiving
antenna sees a direct path signal
as well as a signal reflected off the
ground.

= height of base station

= height of mobile terminal

Good for systems that use tall


towers (over 50 m tall)
Good for line-of-sight microcell
systems in urban environments
is the electric field that results
from a combination of a direct
line-of-sight path and a ground

reflected path
The maximum T-R separation
distance ( In most mobile
communication systems ) is
only a few tens of kilometers,
and the earth may be assumed
to be flat.

=The total received E-field,


=The direct line-of-sight component
=The ground reflected component

Power received for plane


earth reflection:

<< d, is small

= power received in free


space

Since

Received power

Apply two-ray model to solve the problem related to


receiving and transmitting power.

EXAMPLE
Consider GSM900 cellular radio system with 20W
transmitted power from Base Station Transceiver (BTS).
The gain of BTS and Mobile Station (MS) antenna are 8dB
and 2dB respectively. The BTS is located 10km away from
MS and the height of the antenna for BTS and MS are
200m and 3m respectively. By assuming plane earth loss
between BTS and MS, calculate the received signal level
at MS.

SOLUTION

Given

= 900MHz
= 20W = 43dBm
= 8dB = 6.31

d = 10km
= 200m
= 3m

= 2dB = 1.58

So , the receive signal at MS
