Drahtlose Kommunikation – WS 2015/16 – Assignment 1 1/1
Excercise 7
A mobile terminal uses a λ/4 monopole antenna with an antenna gain of 3 dB. The carrier frequency is 900 Mhz.
(For simplification assume speed of light to be: 3 * 108 m/s)
a) What is the antenna length of the mobile terminal?
λ=
3⋅108m s 900⋅1061
s
=0,333m=33,3cm
⇒ λ4=8,33cm
b) What is the effective area of the antenna at an idealized efficiency factor of 100% ?(see exercise 4, assignment 1)
G=4πA
λ2 ⇔ A=Gλ2 4π A=10
3
10⋅(0,333m)2
4π =0,0176m2
c) What is the received power at the mobile terminal according to Friis free-space path loss, if the cellular base station is located at 2 km distance and transmits with 10 Watt power and has an antenna gain of 3 dB. (Assume L=1)
Friis free space equation: PRX=PTX⋅GT⋅GR( λ 4πd L)2 PRX=10W⋅(10
