Determination of Penetration Loss(dBm)
The penetration loss is a measure of the absorption of wireless signal when subjected to a material having specific absorption rate. It can be define as a loss in signal strength inside the material as compared to outside. This loss occurs in both lossy and lossless material as a result of material composition.
The penetration loss is obtained using the penetration loss formula, which is defined as;
\(\mathbf{P}_{\mathbf{\text{Loss}}\mathbf{\ =}}\sqrt{\left(\mathbf{\text{RSS}}_{\mathbf{\text{indoor}}}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{\text{RSS}}_{\mathbf{\text{Outdoor}}}\right)^{\mathbf{2}}}\)
