it is said to have “no gain,” or 0 dBi. This value can only be achieved when none of the transmitted power is wasted, which is impossible for real antennas that are influenced by factors like electrical resistance. However, good design can make sure an antenna’s...
It might not be as obvious, but a dying battery can affect your phone's signal. When your phone’s battery is running low, it may limit power to its antenna to conserve energy, which can reduce its ability to connect to the network. To avoid this, make sure your phone stays charged...
If those methods don’t fix things, the problem could be an over-the-air (OTA) antenna or a cable-TV coax cable that has its own path to ground. I’ve received some pretty annoying shocks when handling coax signal splitters. Normally—because of the isolation ...
The AGC Threshold (AGC-T) control is setting themaximum gain that can be applied to any signal.We always attempt to bring the incoming signal up to some target level, but at times, it doesn't make sense to apply that much gain. For example, when amplifying the noise floor...
RSSI indicates the power level being received after any possible loss at the antenna and cable level. The higher the RSSI value, the stronger the signal. When measured in negative numbers, the number that is closer to zero usually means better signal strength. As an example, -50 is a prett...
Ford tried to make them passably economical, then gave up and simply fitted a larger fuel tank. After getting just 13.5 mpg with a '76, the auto editors of Consumer Guide® decided that "the more buyers learn about the Torino, the more reasons they will find to opt for a Granada."...
GPS spoofing is when a counterfeit radio signal is transmitted to a receiver antenna to counteract and override a legitimate GPS satellite signal. It is often a form of cyberattack perpetrated by bad actors attempting to steer goods or people off course. ...
If you need to go upstairs or downstairs in your home, and the wireless needs to cover different floors, we suggest that you turn on the antenna at an Angle of 30°. Actual test case sharing: We did a test on the effect of antenna placement on horizontal radio. If your router needs ...
–Enough power for up to 100km of range with good antenna and location on a mountain top –Includes coaxial cable, mains power supply and antenna! DISADVANTAGES –Hardly any RANGE It is never easy to predict range. It basically depends a lot on your antenna location, soil conductivity, anten...
To make a permanent magnet, all you have to do is encourage the magnetic domains in a piece of metal to point in the same direction. That's what happens when you rub a needle with a magnet — the exposure to the magnetic field encourages the domains to align. Other ways to align magn...
