Abstract
Channel model provides basis in the link budgetary for planning and design of low margin systems of communication links. This paper proposed a simple and efficient channel model for wireless channel path loss characterization and modeling. Free space channel was characterized and modelled to account for both static and dynamic changes of signal that propagates through it. Correction factors in the model account for the losses due to refraction effects, as a result of abnormal refractivity condition frequent in tropical regions. The model was validated via measurement data from experiment conducted in a tropical region and a high level of agreement was observed. The proposed model can be deployed during link planning and budgetary for ultra high frequency (UHF) wireless radio services.
