CSA - Site Survey Method 1

Mention in CSA - Site Survey Method ( http://cellsiteanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/csa-site-survey-method.html ) the terms Fresnel, Fresnel–Kirchhoff diffraction and Huygens–Fresnel diffractions were used to illustrate to readers that there are various mixed-models of environments which propagation is influnced or reacts. The image above was produced to present a very simplified view how

CSA - Site Survey Method

If I were to say 'up' you can guarantee someone will say the complete opposite. Cell Site Analysis has this fascinating way of bringing opinion out of the woodwork an opposite response that hitherto such a response had remained hidden. The thought processes that make humans do this are far too complex to discuss in this thread and, frankly, would take a far greater mind than mine to offer to you

Terrain Classification

Cell Site Analysis - Site Survey: Terrain Classification Practical research by academic sources and experienced radio planners/designers has produced varying terrain configurations over the years and one noted work for its terrain configuration assessment is produced by British Telecommunications plc, which consisted of 10 categories [0-9]:Category_____Description of the Terrain0

GSM Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

Students learning Cell Site Analysis (CSA) are eventually faced with having to communicate to other non-technical people various technical aspects of the transmission technology that is the subject of the student's work. Sometimes this means finding visual ways to present a technical statement. Below are some visual suggestions that may help.GSM mobile telephones transmit and receive information

GSM Normal Burst Power/Time Template

The image (below) is of the power/time template to illustrate a GSM Normal Burst (GSM05.01/05.02). A single burst when transmitted may contain up to 114-bits of useful speech data. Given the speed at which GSM radio signals traverse the ether calculated in micro-seconds to be received at a destination handset and processed by that handset in milli-seconds and converted into audible speech within

D-Day 6th June

On the 6th June 2011 I wrote about D-Day at this blog. I did so because much of history was being forgotten by the younger generation. When I posted the thread below the blog received nearly 3000 hits in a few days. In 2014, we are now seeing a substantial increase, reported in the papers and on television, raising awareness about this day and other important historical dates that allow the young
