Loss of power over distance (assuming no FRESNEL Effect and nothing in the way). This a very idealised calculation and in practice everything interferes with the signal but it will give you a reasonable approximation of the actual loss over distance.

Enter the system Frequency in MHz and the distance in either Kilometers (Km) or Miles below and then click the 'Calculate' button. 1 GHz = 1000 MHz e.g. 2400 = 2.4 GHz.

Frequency	Distance		Result
MHz	Km OR  Miles		dB

FSL = 36.5 + (20 Log₁₀(D/1609)) + (20 Log₁₀f)
D = Distance in Meters
f = Frequency in MHz
