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
