Minimal Path Loss
Path loss is determined mainly by several factors:
•4 Distance between sites – Path loss is lower and system performance better when distances
between sites are shorter.
•5 Clearance – Path loss is minimized when there exists a clear line of sight. The number,
location, size, and makeup of obstacles determine their contribution to path loss.
•6 Antenna height – Path loss is lower when antennas are positioned higher. Antenna height is the
distance from the imaginary line connecting the antennas at the two sites to “ground” level.
“Ground” level in an open area is the actual ground. In dense urban areas, “ground” level is the
average height of the buildings between the antenna sites.
