The can be calculated by the formula listed below which is the transmission loss between two antennas, separated by a distance. Enter the operating frequency in MHz (2400 for 2.4 GHz, 5800 for 5.8 GHz, etc.) and the distance between the two attennas in miles.

For further information on this formula, please review the figure below.
