LAB 2 Exercise 1 2 Answer

This document provides examples of calculating received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values using two wireless propagation models: free space propagation model and two-ray ground reflection propagation model. It varies transmitter and receiver parameters like frequency, antenna gain, transmitting power, and distance between transmitter and receiver. The RSSI values are reported for different parameter configurations. The conclusion is that the two-ray ground reflection propagation model is more suitable for estimating outdoor wireless transmission performance compared to the free space model, since it accounts for signal reflections from outdoor obstacles.

FREE SPACE PROPAGATION MODEL

a) At 200m, specify the RSSI.


Answer:
RSSI = -76.07 dBm

b) Increase both antennas gain to 2, observe the RSSI at 200m.


Answer:
RSSI = -70.05 dBm
c) Change the frequency to 433MHz, observe the RSSI at 200m.
Answer:
RSSI = -55.17 dBm

d) Change the frequency to 1THz, observe the RSSI at 200m. If the receiver sensitivity is -
105dBm, determine whether the signal can be picked up at 200m. Identify the range of
transmission if the receiver sensitivity is -105dBm.
Answer:
RSSI = - 122.44 dBm
d = 26.900000000000023: -105.01621787281721
The signal cannot picked up at 200m, for the receiver sensitivity -105 dBm is <27m.

e) Change the frequency to 900MHz, observe the RSSI at 1km.


Answer:
RSSI = -75.51 dBm
f) Increase the power to 5W, observe the RSSI at 5km.
Answer:
RSSI = -62.50 dBm

g) Change the power to 0.5W, observe the RSSI at 5km.


Answer:
RSSI = -72.50 dBm
h) Change the transmitter antenna gain to 6dBi and the receiver antenna gain to 2dBi, observe
the RSSI at 2km.
Answer:
RSSI = -62.57 dBm
TWO-RAY GROUND REFLECTION PROPAGATION MODEL

a) If the receiver sensitivity is – 75 dBm, determine the point (distance) where the signal
cannot be received.
Answer:
Above the 132m the signal cannot be received.

b) Set the height of the transmitter to 4m. If the receiver sensitivity is -90dBm, determine the
point (distance) where the signal cannot be received.
Answer:
Distance is 626m with the minimum receiver is -90 dBm.
Distance > 626m, the signal can’t be picked up at -90 dBm.

c) Remain all parameters, observe the RSSI at 200m.


Answer:
RSSI = - 71.64 dBm
d) Set the height of the transmitter to 1m and the height of the receiver to 4m. Observe the
different from the previous graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -71.64 dBm
e) Change the frequency to 433MHz, observe the pattern of the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = - 70.15 dBm

f) Change the frequency to 900MHz, observe the pattern of the graph.


Answer:
RSSI = -70.33 dBm
g) Change the frequency to 1800MHz, observe the pattern of the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -70.96 dBm

h) Change the frequency to 2.4GHz, observe the pattern of the graph.


Answer:
RSSI = -71.64 dBm

i) Change the frequency to 5.8GHz, observe the pattern of the graph.


Answer:
RSSI = -81.52 dBm
j) Set the transmitting power to 5W, change the frequency to 433MHz, observe the pattern of
the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -43.16 dBm

k) Change the frequency to 900MHz, observe the pattern of the graph.


Answer:
RSSI = -43.34 dBm
l) Change the frequency to 1800MHz, observe the pattern of the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -43.96 dBm
m) Change the frequency to 2.4GHz, observe the pattern of the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -44.65 dBm

n) Change the frequency to 5.8GHz, observe the pattern of the graph.


Answer:
RSSI = -54.53 dBm
o) Conclude the impact of RSSI from the transmitting power.
Answer:
As compared by using P t= 0.01W, Frequency = 5.8 GHz (RSSI = -81.52 dBm) , for Pt = 5W,
Frequency = 5.8 GHz (RSSI = -54.43 dBm) which is more strength signal.

p) Set the transmitting power to 0.1W, change the frequency to 2.4GHz, change the relative
permittivity to 1.2, observe the pattern of the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -61.98 dBm

q) Change the relative permittivity to 4.5, observe the pattern of the graph.
Answer:
RSSI = -61.63 dBm
Judge which model is more suitable to be used in estimating outdoor transmission performance
between two wireless points.

Answer:

Two-ray ground reflection propagation model is more suitable for estimating outdoor transmission
performance between two wireless points because in outdoor there will be many reflected of the
obstacles. In our real outdoor transmission, there is hard and impossible to find Free-Space
Propagation Model.
