Fundamental Question: Why Not Send Digital Signal in
Wireless Communications?
• May cause interference
– suppose digital frame length T, then signal
decomposes into frequencies at 1/T, 2/T, 3/T, …
– let T = 1 ms, generates radio waves at frequencies – let T = 1 ms, generates radio waves at frequencies
of 1 KHz, 2 KHz, 3 KHz, …

Antennas: Isotropic Radiator
� Isotropic radiator: a single point
� equal radiation in all directions (three dimensional)
� only a theoretical reference antenna

antenna

Q: how does power level decrease as a function of d, the distance from the
transmitter to the receiver?
Real Antennas
• Real antennas are not isotropic radiators
• Some simple antennas: quarter wave λ/4 on car roofs or half
wave dipole λ/2

Why Not Digital Signal (revisited)
• Not good for spectrum usage/sharing
• The wavelength can be extremely large to
build portable devices
– e.g., T = 1 us -> f=1/T = 1MHz -> wavelength = – e.g., T = 1 us -> f=1/T = 1MHz -> wavelength =
3x108/106 = 300m

Free-Space Isotropic Signal Propagation
• In free space, receiving power proportional to 1/d² (d = distance between transmitter and receiver)

� Pr: received power
� Pt: transmitted power
� Gr, Gt: receiver and
transmitter antenna gain
� λ (=c/f): wave length
Sometime we write path loss in log scale:
Lp = 10 log(Pt) – 10log(Pr)
Signal Propagation
� Receiving power additionally influenced by
� shadowing (e.g. through a wall or a door)
� refraction depending on the density of a medium
� reflection at large obstacles
� scattering at small obstacles

Signal Propagation: Scenarios
Details of signal

complicated
We want to understand
20
We want to understand
the key characteristics
that are important to
our objective
Reason I: Shadowing
• Signal strength loss after passing through obstacles
• Some sample numbers
21
i.e. reduces to ¼ of signal
10 log(1/4) = -6.02
Distance power relationship in practice
� Received power decreases proportional to 1/dr where r varies
from 2 to 6.
� Long corridor, big indoor environment: r=2
� Metallic building: r=6.
� “Slow fading”
22
� “Slow fading”
Reason II: Multipath
� Signal can take many different paths between sender and
receiver due to reflection, scattering, diffraction
23
Multipath Can Reduce Signal Strength
� Example: reflection from the ground: received power decreases
proportional to 1/d4 instead of 1/d² due to the destructive
interference between the direct signal and the signal reflected
from the ground

Multipath Fading
25
� Due to constructive and destructive interference of
multiple transmitted waves, signal strength may vary
widely as a function of receiver position
� Listen to radio on a car.
