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.Comparison of Mobile Radio Transmission at 150, 450, 900, and 3700 Mc, W. Rae Young, Jr., 1952, Bell System Technical Journal
Mathematical formulation The mathematical formulation for Young model is:
Where, L = path loss. Unit: decibel (dB) GB = gain of base transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB) GM = gain of mobile transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB) hB = height of base station antenna. Unit: meter (m) hM = height of mobile station antenna. Unit: meter (m) d = link distance. Unit: kilometer (km) = clutter factor
