Gas propagation model

Description

Model the behavior of electromagnetic radiation from a point of transmission as it travels through gas[1]by using aGasobject. Propagation models for gas are valid from 1 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Gasobject by using thepropagationModelfunction.

Properties

expand all

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

Data Types:double

Dry air pressure, specified as a scalar in pascals (Pa).

Data Types:double

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

Data Types:double

Object Functions

pathloss Path loss of radio wave propagation
range Range of radio wave propagation
add 增加传播模型

Examples

collapse all

Display the coverage area for a transmitter in hot air. Specify the air temperature as 35 degrees Celsius.

pm = propagationModel("gas","Temperature",35); tx = txsite("Name","Apple Hill","Latitude",42.3001,"Longitude",-71.3604); coverage(tx,pm)
