Young Model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Young model is a radio propagation model that was build on the data collected on New York City. It typically models the behaviour of cellular communication systems in large cities.

[edit] Applicable to/under conditions

This model is ideal for modeling the behaviour of cellular communications in large cities with tall structures.

[edit] Coverage

Frequency: 150 MHz to 3700 MHz

[edit] History

Young model was built on the data of 1952 in New York City.

[edit] Mathematical formulation

The mathematical formulation for Young model is:

L \; = \; G_B \; G_M \; \left (\frac{h_B \; h_M}{d^2} \right )^2\beta

Where,

L = path loss. Unit: decibel (dB)
GB = gain of base transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB)
GM = gain of mobile transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB)
hB = height of base station antenna. Unit: meter (m)
hM = height of mobile station antenna. Unit: meter (m)
d = link distance. Unit: kilometer (km)
β = clutter factor
