Path Loss Models
The transmitted signals(t) = u(t)ej(2πft+φ0),
whereu(·) is a complex baseband signal,f is the carrier frequency andφ0 is arandom initial phase (uniformly distributed between 0 andπ).
Basic propagation mechanisms
1. Reflection
2. Diffraction
3. Scattering
Free space loss
The received signal

whereθ is the angle of reflection.Ford > dc = 4hthr
