Mobile Communications Lecture 3

This document discusses power transmission in mobile communications. It provides equations to calculate received power Pr(d) at a distance d based on transmitted power and signal properties. Specifically: 1) Pr(d) is proportional to the square of the transmitted power divided by the square of the distance. 2) The received power decreases by 20log(d0/d) dB from a reference distance d0. 3) Examples are provided to calculate received power in dBm at different distances from a 50W transmitter with a 900MHz carrier signal. 4) The relationship between power, electric field strength, and voltage is explained using concepts of power flux density and impedance matching between antennas.

Example 3.2
If a transmitter produces 50 watts of power, express the
transmit power in units of (a) dBm, and (b) dBW. If 50 watts
is applied to a unity gain antenna with a 900 MHz carrier
frequency. (c) find the received power in dBm at a free space
distance of 100 m from the antenna. (d) What is Pr (10 km)?
Assume unity gain for the receiver antenna.

Answer:
(a) Pt (dBm) = 10 Log(Pt in mW) = 10 Log(50 103 )

(b) Pt (dBW) = 10 Log(Pt inW) = 10 Log(50) = 17 dB
