Frequency Re-Use
What is Frequency Re-Use?

Because frequency resource of mobile system is
very limited,
The different Subscribers must use the same
frequency in different place.
Of course, the quality of communication must be
ensured.

Diversity
Approx. 10
wavelengths
When diversity is implemented
two antennas are situated at
the receiver. These antennas
are
placed
several
wavelengths apart to ensure
minimum correlation between
the two receive paths.
The two signals are then

combined, this ensures that a
low signal strength is less likely
to occur.

Frequency Hopping
Each time the BTS or mobile transmits a burst, it
does so on a different RF carrier frequency.
Synthesizer Hopping:each
timeslot on a given
transceiver can transmit
at a different frequency
frequency
Baseband Hopping: each

transceiver stays at the
same frequency and the
data is switched to the
appropriate transceiver.
