This paper presents an analysis of Dominant Path Model on perpendicular and angular transmitter that was operated at 5.8GHz. The simulation uses win Prop software and the measurement was done at UniCITI Alam campus, Perlis. Comparison of the path loss and signal strength was done when different transmitter position and different receiver height were considered. Angular transmitter positioning shows better performance and this was indicated by a 7.87 dB lesser loss when compared to perpendicular positioning. The analysis considers an effect of receiver height were the perpendicular position performs better at 1.0 m receiver height. However, angular transmitter performed 0.1 m receiver is suitable for short distance and 1.5 m receiver height is better for longer distance receiver point.

This paper presents an analysis of Dominant Path Model for different angles of transmitter position that was operated at 5.8GHz. The environment of UniCITI Alam Campus of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) was modeled in the simulation software. Different angles of the transmitter are st to 0degree, 5degree, 10degree and 20degree down tilt in reference to the ground were considered and compared to the Two-Ray Ground Model as reference model. The results demonstrate that at the position of 20degree down tilt to the ground, the transmitter performs better for signal strength in which −44.98 dBm is carried after losing the power at 64.99 dB.

This paper presents a reconfigurable beam direction folded dipole antenna with Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC). A coaxial probe placed in the middle of the proposed antenna as the medium to feed the current and then distributed to the radiating element. This research has the capability to steer the beam direction by implementing the radio frequency (RF) switch mechanism on the antenna. With a dimension of 24.5 mm × 54.5 mm, the antenna is potentially to sustain the gain and total efficiency of 6.4 dB and 90% respectively for all states at 9.41 GHz.
