- Summary
- Chapter
Keywords:
- noise, noise performance and noise calculations - in radio planning;
- radio link quality, not defined by absolute signal level - but by signal-to-noise ratio;
- RF planners, considering noise issue in DAS systems - on UL of link budget, as ‘black magic’;
- thermal noise, being ‘white noise’ - power distributed equally in total RF spectrum;
- reference noise level for GSM and DCS/UMTS - noise power density, frequency-independent;
- cascaded noise, passive DAS - passive cables and components, losses from base station to antenna, and vice versa;
- deploying mast-mounted amplifiers (LNAs) - in mobile systems, in UMTS deployment;
- noise power from parallel systems - two noise sources into one output;
- noise control, in cascaded systems - multiple amplifiers, and interconnecting cable;
- UMTS UL/DL performance improvement - after upgrade of passive DAS
