loss_complete

pycraf.pathprof.loss_complete(pathprop, G_t=<Decibel 0. dB>, G_r=<Decibel 0. dB>)

Calculate the total loss of a propagating radio wave according to ITU-R P.452-16 Eq (58-64).

Parameters:

pathpropPathProp instance

This helper class works as a container to hold various properties of the path (e.g., geometry).

G_t, G_rQuantity

Antenna gain (transmitter, receiver) in the direction of the horizon(!) along the great-circle interference path [dBi]

Returns:

L_b0pQuantity

Free-space loss including focussing effects (for p% of time) [dB]

L_bdQuantity

Basic transmission loss associated with diffraction not exceeded for p% time [dB]:

L_bd = L_b0p + L_dp

L_bsQuantity

Tropospheric scatter loss [dB]

L_baQuantity

Ducting/layer reflection loss [dB]

L_bQuantity

Complete path propagation loss [dB]

L_b_corrQuantity

As L_b but with clutter correction [dB]

LQuantity

As L_b_corr but with gain and clutter correction [dB]
