dc.description.abstractIn the design of shore-to-shore and shore-to-vessel wireless links, the impact of the ray reflected on the surface is often neglected. It adds that, in some coastal areas, the geometry of the reflection changes over time due to tides. When choosing an antenna height for an inshore node, often the largest possible height is used, but this approach can lead to signal degradation. The two-ray model is the most fundamental path loss model to account for the contribution of the reflected ray. We carried out experimental measurements at the shores of a freshwater body to verify that the two-ray model can predict the major trends of the path loss experienced by a 2.4 GHz over-water wireless link. We focus on short-to-medium distance links, with antennas installed a few meters above surface. We observed considerable consistency between measurements and model estimates, leading us to conclude that the two-ray model may bring benefits when applied to the network design of over-water links affected by tidal variations, which is our end-goal.pt_PT
