5. (a) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the 2- ray ground reflection model in the analysis of
path loss.
(b) In the following cases, tell whether the 2 ray model could be applied, and explain why or why
not:
hT 35 m
hR 3 m d = 250 m
hT 30 m
hR 1.5 m d = 450 m
(c) What insight does the 2 ray model provide about large scale path loss that was disregarded
when cellular systems used very large cells?
6. In a 2- ray ground reflection model, assume that must be kept below 6.261 radians for phase
cancellation reasons. Assuming a receiver height of 2 m, and given a requirement that i be less
than 5 , what are the minimum allowable values for the T-R separation distance and the height of the
transmitter antenna? The carrier frequency is 900 MHz. Refer to Figure P3.3.
7. In the 2- ray path loss model with 1 , derive an appropriate expression for the location of the
signal nulls at the receiver.
