Consider the inverse square law of signal attenuation in wireless transmissions Pr∝Ps/d2, where Ps is the sending power and Pr is the receiving power. Assume a receiver can receive a power of 10W when it is 10 meters away from the sender. What will be the receiving power if the receiver is 100 meters away from the sender?
Pr∝Ps/d^2
So we can let Pr=C(Ps)/d^2 where C is a constant
Then 10=C(Ps)/(10)^2
So C(Ps)=1000
The receiving power if the receiver is 100 meters away from the sender
=C(Ps)/d^2
=1000/(100)^2
=0.1 W
