Good day im trying to plot a graph of the effect of distance of separation between the TX/RX and the receive signal strength, using Friis's free space equation. I am having an issue with the graph when my pr is in db unit.

My code:

clc;
close all;
clear all;
d=1:0.1:20 ;
f=2100000000;
Wavelength=(3*10^8/f).^2;
PT=50.12;
PR=(Wavelength./(4*pi*d).^2)*PT ;
PR1=10*log(PR/(10*10.^-3)) ;
subplot(2,1,1); 
plot(d,PR);
xlabel('x--> D (distance in Km)'); 
ylabel('y--> PR (path loss)'); 
title('Distance of separation between the TX/RX and the receive signal strength'); 
grid on
subplot(2,1,2); 
plot(d,PR1);
xlabel('x--> D (distance in Meter)'); 
ylabel('y--> PR (Path loss in dB)'); 
title('Distance of separation between the TX/RX and the receive signal strength'); 
grid on;

My pr linear value when converted to dbm doesnt correspond to the graph value.

Hi,

sorry i guess my answer didnt help - deleted it. What exactly is the difference between your result from calculation and the plot? Are you sure the unit of the second x-values is m instead of km?

Best regards

Stephan

You're plotting exactly what you're asking for. However, I don't think you're asking what you think you're asking. Your definition of PR1 doesn't appear to reference P0. It's a fixed scalar of 0.01;

PR1=10*log(PR/(10*10.^-3)) ;

did you intend to divide by 0.01? That's what 10*10.^-3 evaluates to. I would have expected PT there. Perhaps you intended 0.001? That's just '1e-3' in MATLAB notation (without the quotes).

Edit: Also, in MATLAB, log is the natural log (base e) usually written as ln. If you want the base 10 log the command is log10. dB is usually defined in base 10.

You probably already have an answer but try this....
