Abstract

The project focuses on how to predict the radio frequency coverage using MATLAB software. The simulation consists of calculation of path loss in dB for Hata Model. The path loss estimation is performance. Four parameters are used for estimation of the propagation loss by Hata ‘s well know model, frequency (f), distance (d), Base station height (hb) and mobile station height (hm). In Hata model which is based on Okumura various correction function. A Radio Propagation Model (RPM) also know as a Radio Wave Propagation Model (RWPM), is a emprical mathematic formulation for the characterization of radio wave propagation as a function of frequency. In mobile radio system path loss model are necessary for proper planning. Propagation model that predict the mean signal strength for arbitrary tranmitter-receiver (T-R) seperation distance which useful in estimating the radio coverage area of transmitter are called large-scale propagation Models. The large –scale propagation performance of Hata Models compared varing Mobile Station height ( MS), Antenna Height, Transmitter-Receiver, Distance and Base Station (BS), considering the system operate at 900MHz. Through the MATLAB simulation the radio propagation phenomena to be identified as the most important depend on the environment such as urban area, Sub-urban area and rural area. The path loss values a different on the different environment.. The distances between base station and mobile range from some meter to several kilometres. The simulation using MATLAB software to predict the coverage for Omni-directional and Directional. The Omni-directional coverage represents circle shapes. The calculation of the coverage depends on the four parameters.
