Fog propagation model

Description

Model the behavior of electromagnetic radiation from a point of transmission as it travels through fog or clouds[1]by using aFogobject. Propagation models for fog are valid from 10 to 1000 GHz, assume line-of-sight (LOS) conditions, and disregard terrain, the curvature of the Earth, and other obstacles.

Creation

创建一个Fogobject by using thepropagationModelfunction.

Properties

Air temperature, specified as a scalar in degrees Celsius (C).

Data Types:double

Liquid water density, specified as a scalar in grams per cubic meter (g/m3).

Data Types:double

Object Functions

pathloss Path loss of radio wave propagation

Display the coverage area for a transmitter in thick fog.

创建一个propagation model for fog. Specify the water density as 0.5 grams per cubic meter.

pm = propagationModel("fog","WaterDensity",0.5);

创建一个transmitter site. Display the coverage area for the transmitter. Propagation models for fog require transmitter frequencies between 10 and 1000 GHz.

tx = txsite("Name","Apple Hill","TransmitterFrequency",1e10,..."Latitude",42.3001,"Longitude",-71.3604); coverage(tx,pm)
