Test yourself, answer these questions
- What the difference between EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) and ERP (Effective Radiated Power)?
- What is the difference between isotropic and non isotropic sources?
- Explain half power beamwidth and first null beamwidth.
- What are the parameters for the radio propagation, taken a realistic system in mind?
- What is the fading margin?
- How do Receiver sensitivity relate to received power?
- What effect does the bandwidth of the signal has on the communication link?
- Why does a 20 Mbit/s datalink use more capacity than a voice call of e.g. 16 kbit/s? (to factors)
- What are the relations between Mbit/s and MHz?
Examples for UMTS
- Use Widermind (see references) for calculating typical values for the radio propagation in UMTS.
