Free-Space Path Loss Calculator

This calculator is used to predict the theoretical attenuation between two antennas in free space by entering the distance, frequency, and antenna gains.

Calculations:


Distance:
Frequency:
Transmit Antenna Gain:
Receive Antenna Gain:

Formula:


Free spave path loss formula d = Distance between the antennas.
F = Frequency
G (Tx) = The Gain(dBi) of the Transmitting Antenna.
G (Rx) = The Gain(dBi) of the Receiving Antenna.
c = Speed of light in vacuum (Meters per Second)

* All conversions are based on free space conditions (impedance of 377 ohm)
