fspl calculator

Calculate Free Space Path Loss (FSPL) for RF signal propagation prediction in ideal conditions.

ready to calculate

Enter parameters in the configuration panel to estimate free space path loss and signal quality.

fspl formula

FSPL (dB) = 20·log10(d) + 20·log10(f) + 32.45

Where d is distance in km and f is frequency in MHz. This formula assumes isotropic antennas and line-of-sight propagation in vacuum.
