Egli Model Path Loss Calculator and Formula

path loss egli model rf wireless communication link budget

This page provides an Egli model path loss calculator and explains the Egli model path loss formula. The calculator takes distance and other parameters as input and computes the path loss as output.

We will consider a Base Station (BS) as the transmitter and a Mobile Station (MS) as the receiver in this model to illustrate distance calculation between them.

Egli Model Path Loss Calculator

Inputs

Outputs

Use the calculator by entering the values as described in the example to calculate the distance and path loss.

EXAMPLE:

  • INPUTS:

    • BS antenna gain = 0
    • Mobile antenna gain = 0
    • BS height = 100
    • MS height = 2
    • Distance = 4000 meters
    • Frequency = 900 MHz

  • OUTPUTS:

    • Path Loss = -125.105 dB

(Note: An interactive calculator would be embedded here in a real implementation)

Egli Model Path Loss Formula

The following Egli model path loss formula is used in this calculator to compute the path loss from the distance.
