Propagation Characteristics
Line-of-sight with some diffraction around obstacles. Building penetration decreases at higher UHF. Multipath fading is significant in urban environments.
Regulatory Notes
Heavily licensed spectrum. ISM bands at 433 MHz (EU), 915 MHz (US), 2.4 GHz (global). GPS L1 at 1575.42 MHz.

Wavelength / Frequency
Convert between frequency, wavelength, and wave number in free space or medium. Calculate half-wave and quarter-wave lengths for antenna and transmission line design.
Free-Space Path Loss
Calculate free-space path loss (FSPL) using the Friis transmission equation for wireless link budget analysis
Link Budget
Calculate RF link budget: transmit power, free space path loss, antenna gains, and received signal level. Determine link margin and maximum range.
Patch Antenna
Calculate rectangular microstrip patch antenna dimensions (width, length) using the Transmission Line Model. Outputs effective dielectric constant, edge-feed impedance, and nominal gain for common substrates like FR4 and Rogers.
