With the ongoing massive distribution of wireless Internet in big and middle-size cities, it is mandatory to train electrical engineers students to idenitify and surpass trobles related to signal intensity to benefit of end-user. Thus, more than to present theoretical material it turns out to be relevant the study of realistic scenarios that affect the signal and to understand under what circumstanes the signal path-loss is substantially degraded. The purpose of this paper goes along direction where signal becomes attenuated by terrain morphology and urban housing. In this manner, it is important to identify the exact plae where antenna base station should be deployed. To accomplish this, a concrete formalism that involves the Dirac-delta function is introduced. Here, it is noteworthy to remark the importance of parameters inside the argument of Dirac-delta function, because them appears to be related to system under study. In this paper, such parameters are interpreted in terms of signal intensity so that according to their values them enter as numerical input in 3D computer graphics tool such as Google SketchUp. The results of paper are explicitly based on the different spatial configurations with minimal signal path-loss by which antenna might be deployed. Conclusion from results are given.
