Range of Transmitter In Heavy Rain
Specify transmitter and receiver sites.
tx = txsite('Name','MathWorks Apple Hill',... 'Latitude',42.3001, ... 'Longitude',-71.3504, ... 'TransmitterFrequency', 2.5e9); rx = rxsite('Name','Fenway Park',... 'Latitude',42.3467, ... 'Longitude',-71.0972);
Create the propagation model for heavy rainfall rate.
pm = propagationModel('rain','RainRate',50)
pm = Rain with properties: RainRate: 50 Tilt: 0
Calculate the range of transmitter using the rain propagation model and a path loss of 127 dB.
r = range(pm,tx,127)
r = 2.0747e+04
Input Arguments
propmodel
— Propagation model
propagation model object
Propagation model, specified as a propagation model object. Use the
propagationModel
function.
Data Types: object
tx
— Transmitter site
txsite
object
Transmitter site, specified as a txsite
object. You can use array inputs to
specify multiple sites.
Data Types: char
pl
— Path loss
scalar
Path loss, specified as a scalar in decibels.
Data Types: double
Output Arguments
r
— range
scalar | M-by-1 arrays
Range, returned as a scalar or M-by-1 array with each element in meters. M is the number of TX sites.
Range is the maximum distance for which the path loss does not exceed the
value of the specified pl
.
