Young model explained

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

Applicable to/under conditions

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

Coverage

Frequency

150 MHz to 3700 MHz

History

Young model was built on the data of 1952 in New York City.^[1]

Mathematical formulation

The mathematical formulation for Young model is:

L = G _{B} G _{M} \left ( (h _{B} h _{M})/(d ^{2}) \right ) ^{2\beta}

Where,

L = path loss. Unit: decibel (dB)

G_B = gain of base transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB)

G_M = gain of mobile transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB)

h_B = height of base station antenna. Unit: meter (m)

h_M = height of mobile station antenna. Unit: meter (m)

d = link distance. Unit: kilometer (km)

\beta = clutter factor
