Guesti would like to know why there r 2 seperate frequencies and why a guard band between these two frequencies when the whole slot of 890-960 is allocated for GSM
phanesh .k
GuestThe two freq are 890 to 915 is for
reciver 935 to 960 for transmission
the guard band is 20 mhz to maintain the isolation between trans and reciver if u need any furthe clarification mail meZahid
GuestIf to ask another question in the same context , why the uplink is higher frequency than downlink ??
Sachin Aneja
Guesthi Zahid,
Uplink frequency is from MS to BTS and Downlink frequency is from BTS to MS. BTS has o/p power of 20 watt and MS has o/p power of 2Watt.BTS has already higher power than MS, so in order to maintain syncronization between two Uplink frequency is lower than downlink.
I am not sure this is the right answer of yourquestion so, if u came to know about some other reason for this, then plz tell me also.

GuestHi, Sachin,
BTS has a power of 50 watts
( 47dbm) & not 20 watts.Regards.

GuestResponse to Mostafa : Actually depends on the equipment you are using. Regulatory bodies in the country may also restrict the maximum EIRP and hence the output power after the PA.
Response to Sachin : The term syncronization is not correct in the context. The line of thought you were following is correct.
The higher the frequency, the high the path loss. The power-limiting link when calculating the link budgets for GSM is in most cases (where the BTS has output power far larger than MS)the uplink hence in an attempt to favour the weaker link, the lower frequencies have been assigned to the uplink.
Note that this is applicable to almost all wireless communications systems.

GuestTo paul: The nominal output power is 47dbm for GSM 2 phase, and of course, depending on the link budget you can regulate your power.
Example from Ericsson :
RBS 2202 : 47dbm. (nominal)
RBS micro : 33 dbm. ( nominal)sachin aneja
Guesthi paul,
plz confirm me BTS O/P power. i think i m right that BTS power is 20 Watt.(47dbm). According to mustafa 47dbm =50 watt. is it true.if yes then tell me how?

GuestHi sachin,
I am confirming that 20 watt is not equal to 47 dbm.
47 dbm = 51.10 Watts

Guest1) First of all,to find out the power in dBm :
P[dBm]=10*log( P[mW] )
20W => 10*log(20000 mW)=43dBm
50’11873W => 10*log(50118’73 mW)=47dBm2) The reason for using higher frequencies in the downlink and lower frequencies in the uplink is power saving in the batteries of the mobile station.
Transmitting in high frequencies involve more power consumption than transmitting in low frequencies.As the battery in MS is limited due to its mobility, power availability in BTS is greater, and low frequencies are used by the MS to transmit.In wireless Satellite systems, satellites use low frequencies to transmit in order to save battery.

GuestHi kiran,thanx for your comments and welcome u,
also i wold like to thanx buddies like roberto pual ,mostafa,etc.
plz I would like to say my question in other perspective. i.e. in sattelite communication.
why the uplink frequency is higher than downlink.thank for your time and efforts.
Kiran KV
GuestIn the satellite communications the uplink frequency will always be higher than its downlink. This is because the higher frequencies suffer greater spreading or free space loss than a lower frequency.
Zahid
GuestThank you kiran. Can u plz tel me more about that , i mean whats the technical reason behind it. like u said lower frequency offer less resistance , but why??? i mean what r the factors???
thank you for your time
Zahid
madan
Guestin satellite comunications
the line of sight has to be very accurate hence they use lower frequency for downlinkregards
madhusourabh
Guestany body here wud tell me wat is the exact reason why uplink frequency is greater than downlink one
