by working backwards Example 4.11 on p. 166, giving a value for PL0 of 31.5 dB.
As we are working in feet, we had to convert this value into the PL at 1 ft.
PL(1ft) = PL(1m) + 32.7log 1ft
1m
Therefore, the PL at d (measured in feet) from the source is given by
Combining (A.2) and (A.5) gives

PL = PL(1ft) + 32.7log d
1ft
= 14.6 + 32.7logd
14.6+32.7logd

Pr = Pt10 10
= Pt10 −1.46 d −3.27
