RF Impairments
The Free Space Path Loss block simulates the loss of signal power due to the distance between transmitter and receiver. The block reduces the amplitude of the input signal by an amount that is determined in either of two ways:
By the Distance (km) and Carrier frequency (MHz) parameters, if you specify Distance and Frequency in the Mode field
By the Loss (dB) parameter, if you specify Decibels in the Mode field
The input to this block must be a complex signal.
Method of specifying the amount by which the signal power is reduced. The choices are Decibels and Distance and Frequency.
The signal loss in decibels. This parameter appears when you set Mode to Decibels.
Distance between transmitter and receiver in kilometers. This parameter appears when you set Mode to Distance and Frequency.
The carrier frequency in megahertz. This parameter appears when you set Mode to Distance and Frequency.
The model below illustrates the effect of the Free Space Path Loss block with the following parameter settings:
Mode is set to Distance and Frequency.
Distance (km) is set to 0.5
Carrier frequency (MHz) is set to 180
