Hi Paolo First of all I think the the free space model and two ray ground model are dependent on antenna height and there is a crossover distance, after which the model used is two ray ground. When you say you use free space model, you must have the antennas to be very high, to acheive a free space loss situation, otherwise two ray ground will take effect after the crossover distance. The default antenna heights, and transmit and recieve frequency are shown below again with the Receiver Threshold value (RXThresh). In your case you might have to increase the antenna height, aslo change the receiver threshold aswell as increase the transmit power.
freq = 916e+6; RXThresh = 3.66152e-10; ht = 1.5; // transmit antenna height hr = 1.5; // transmit antenna height Now if I use the above settings for my simulation, the transmit power I need to send a message 2010 m away is shown below The transmit power is to be set to 1180.50 See if that helps, > > Hi all, > i need to set up the range of my wireless nodes to 2000 m.
