The goal of this project is to use MATLAB to design a radio prorogation simulator that produces an arbitrary number of samples of propagation path loss using a d n path loss model with log-normal shadowing. The inputs of your simulator are

• The separation between the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX).
• The operating frequency of the system.
• The path loss exponent n
• The standard deviation of the log-normal shadowing σ
• The close-in reference distance.
• The number of the desired predicted samples.

The simulator should provide a check that ensures that the input TX-RX separation is greater than or equal to the close-in reference distance. The output of the simulator should be a graphical output of the produced samples as a function distance.

Develop a GUI interface that allows the user to specify the above inputs as well as the transmitter and receiver parameters such as
• The transmit power
• The transmitter antenna gain
• The receiver antenna gain
• The receiver bandwidth
• The receiver noise figure
