Abstract/Summary

The rate of information being exchanged everyday increases as time goes by. Thus, the demand for various communications services also increase. Channel models are designed for different frequencies of different service. However, as the signal propagates through different environments, losses are incurred.

This study aims to create a GUI program that is able to predict the signal level inside an office. Eight offices around the DLSU campus are selected for signal gathering. The signals are measured using a spectrum analyzer and folded dipole antenna. Different analyses are conducted to determine the better antenna polarization and best-fit model for indoor FM signals. The model derived is then used in the GUI program that predicts the signals inside an office.
