The performance of molecular communication is significantly impacted by the\nreception process of the messenger molecules. The receptors' size and density,\nhowever, have yet to be investigated. In this letter, we analyze the effect of\nreceptor density and size on the signal reception of an absorbing receiver with\nreceptors. The results show that, when the total receptor area is the same,\nbetter hitting probability is achieved by using a higher number of relatively\nsmall receptors. In addition, deploying receptors, which cover a small\npercentage of the receiver surface, is able to create an effective\ncommunication channel that has a detectable signal level.\n
