  • What is the difference between Line of Sight and NON Line of sight?
  • What are some of the phenomenon that radio wave experience when propagates in our environment?
  • What is fading? What is fast fading and what is slow fading?
  • What is Rayleigh and Rician distribution?
  • what is dB and what is dBm?
  • What is the Hata Model? What are the main parameters in the Hata Model that affects path loss?
