MOBILE SIGNAL BOOSTER
A mobile signal booster uses a mobile phone signal which is sent to and fro the nearby tower and amplifies it.
It helps building a strong range of signals thus making it powerful and increasing its bandwidth.
It consists of a repeater and the repeater has three main elements- exterior antenna, interior antenna and an amplifier. An antenna is a resonant device which help in transmission of electromagnetic waves.
The premise on which the mobile signal booster works is taking the existing cell phone signal anywhere in the vicinity and the proper range and amplifying it so as to make it even more powerful in order to ensure that there is no cross connection and no cross talk between two people.
The unwanted signals in a medium of communication are caused by transfer of energy radiating through another circuit because of phenomenon such as leakage and coupling.
The optimum range which is there in order to listen to what the other person is saying is between 7 db to 10 db.
After amplifying, the signal is again reproduced, sampled and is broadcasted to the area where the signal is relatively weak.
In order to reduce the unwanted frequency signals, an attenuator can also be used.
Attenuating the waveform or signal means reducing the amplitude of the signal without degrading or reducing the quality of it. Attenuators are passive circuits.
With the increase in cloud servers, electrical stations, antennas, transmission towers, it is obvious that there is going to be a little cross connection.
There are also natural obstructions like trees, huge buildings, hills, various construction sites etc.
The cell phone reception is captured by the external antenna. The captured signal is amplified by cellular repeater where it undergoes many changes and is rebroadcasted again with the aim to boost the cell phone reception. The main motive of the whole process is to increase the bandwidth efficiency, amplify the weak signals, attenuate the unwanted signals and deliver a strong range of signals even in the remotest of places to make communication stronger than ever.
The whole idea of this enterprise overrides on the fact that there should not be any kind of disturbances, discrepancies while talking.
The other advantage of this is that one can browse on the internet faster than ever without experiencing any kind of buffering.
Some applications such as YouTube, Instagram consume a lot of data which hinders the quality of content sometimes.
When this kind of signal boosting technique is used it helps a person browse faster without experiencing any kind of lag.
There might be some advantages one has not heard of.
One can choose a booster that amplifies the signal strength of phone class simultaneously.
When a person speaks, his voice is transmitted in the form of electrical waves by his phone, while the phone of the person one is having a conversation with converts the signals into sound that the other person can hear.
There are various types of cell phone boosters such as
Analog signal booster
These amplify phone carrier frequencies using traditional technology. These are sold together with antenna and a kit. Sometimes, analog signal boosters are also called as bidirectional boosters.
Smart signal booster
Smart signal boosters are a little expensive than analog ones as there is a lot less complexity involved and they are compact as outdoor antennas are not required.
There are various reasons as to why the signal is weak or there is a problem that the phone itself is not able to catch the signal properly.
Effective transmission requires a clear straight concurrent line.
In urban areas where there is hustle and bustle, it is not possible as there can never be a clear line of transmission between.
There are interruptions such as tall buildings, huge towers, trees, commercialized spaces etc.
Morever, there are natural calamities such as thunderstorms, rain, snow which weaken the reception causing many distortions.
These are the outside/external factors which are responsible for the interruption.
The factors which are responsible from inside are layers of brick, thick concrete, electronic clutter etc which can cause a lag or cross talk thus limiting the frequency.
Mobile repeaters do not make or produce signals. They only transmit signals and amplify them.
There are many factors which ensure the smooth and uninterrupted flow of signals. For eg, a cell phone reception booster might not work according to one’s desire if the external cell phone antenna cannot be placed in an area where the receiving signal is stable.
For various people, various cell phone coverage is needed and each and every coverage determines the area that needs to be covered. The area which needs to be covered can be near office, home etc.
It is very important that the external reception should be strong.
The most critical component of the mobile phone booster is the outside antenna.
If the outside antenna is higher, the coverage pulled is way better.
Higher the elevation, better the service of the booster.
The antenna available for the boosting technique ranges high to low cost, they also range in size, amount of complexity.
Omni-Directional Antenna
Omni-Directional Antenna are all rounder antenna.
The only criteria under which they work is that there should be at least moderate or weak signal and this antenna will later on amplify.
The Yagi antenna is an antenna that pulls the phone reception from the direction as small as 45 degrees. It adapts itself accordingly. This kind of antenna is perfect for a weak signal which comparatively has a larger distance to cover.
Car antenna is the antenna which is mounted vertically from RV’s, motor homes etc.
However, it has a condition that the antenna should not have any obstruction. It may range from 4 inches to 12 inches and has a magnetic base that forms the support.
The most durable antenna which can be used as a mobile signal booster is a recreational vehicle antenna. It absorbs shocks and is mounted on spring with radial features.
