Young model is a radio propagation model that was built on the data collected on New York City. It typically models the behaviour of cellular communication systems in large cities.

Applicable to/under conditions

This model is ideal for modeling the behaviour of cellular communications in large cities with tall structures.

Frequency: 150 MHz to 3700 MHz

Young model was built on the data of 1952 in New York City.

The mathematical formulation for Young model is:

$L\;=\;G_{B}\;G_{M}\;\left({\frac {h_{B}\;h_{M}}{d^{2}}}\right)^{2}\beta$

Where,

L = path loss. Unit: decibel (dB)

G_B = gain of base transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB)

G_M = gain of mobile transmitter. Unit: decibel (dB)

h_B = height of base station antenna. Unit: meter (m)

h_M = height of mobile station antenna. Unit: meter (m)

d = link distance. Unit: kilometer (km)
