Homework Statement
For radio transmission in free space, signal power is reduced in proportion to the square
of the distance from the source, whereas in wire transmission, the attenuation is a fixed
number of dB per kilometer.
The Attempt at a Solution
this is not the whole problem
what i want to ask is when it says that the signal power is reduced in proportion to the square of the distance from the source does it mean that
if we have a distance of 1 and a signal loss of -6 db
then for distance 3 we will have a signal loss of -6*3^2 db?
and for wire it will be just -6*3?
