Detailed Description

a Friis propagation loss model

The Friis propagation loss model was first described in "A Note on a Simple Transmission Formula", by "Harald T. Friis".

The original equation was described as: $\frac{P_r}{P_t} = \frac{A_r A_t}{d^2\lambda^2}$ with the following equation for the case of an isotropic antenna with no heat loss: $A_{isotr.} = \frac{\lambda^2}{4\pi}$

The final equation becomes: $\frac{P_r}{P_t} = \frac{\lambda^2}{(4 \pi d)^2}$

Modern extensions to this original equation are: $P_r = \frac{P_t G_t G_r \lambda^2}{(4 \pi d)^2 L}$

With:

: reception power (W)
: transmission power (W)
: transmission gain (unit-less)
: reception gain (unit-less)
$\lambda$ : wavelength (m)
: distance (m)
: system loss (unit-less)

This model is invalid for small distance values. The current implementation returns the txpower as the rxpower for any distance smaller than MinDistance.
