Why higher frequencies has higher pathloss ?
Dears,
If any one could support me with detailed answer about Why - physically- higher frequencies has higher pathloss ?
Also if any one could provide me with any book about Radio engineering I will be very grateful.
Thanks

Re: Why higher frequencies has higher pathloss ?
the answer lies with friss equation.
if you remember the path loss between two isotropic antennas in free space: Path loss in dB
L= 20 log10 (4.pie.d/lambda)
l is loss, lambda is wavelength, d is distance
wavelength we know inversely prop. to freq. hence more frequency more loss.

Thank you for your reply but I want to understand the physical reasons for that

Hi
Actually the pathloos depends not on the frequency. The reason to have the frequency in pathloss equation is due to effective antenna area which depends on frequency.
Have a look at Wikipedia to find more details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss
Kind Regards

Re: Why higher frequencies has higher pathloss ?
when frequency increase the value of Lamda (length of signal wave) decease which mean the signal at same power have to propagate (move) less distance (increased pathloss) ....
