These antennas may have been used by Nortel Networks. Ces antennes ont possiblement été utilisé par Nortel Networks. - Function
-
These antennas are designated to radiate RF energy from a transmitter, or to capture RF energy. Radio signals are fed through cables to these antennas and then launched as radio waves into the area, or cell, around the base station they are fixed on. Base stations are medium to high-power multi-channel two-way radios which are in a fixed location. They are typically used by a low-power single-channel, two-way radios such as mobile phones. When you talk on such a mobile phone, the signals from your mobile are being received and sent to a nearby base station. Ces antennes ont été conçues pour émettent de l'énergie Radio-fréquence d'un transmetteur ou pour capturer l'énergie Radio-fréquence. Les signaux de radio sont nourris par câbles en direction des antennes et ensuite lancé comme ondes de radio dans la région autour de la station de base. Les stations bases sont des radios bidirectionnelles à plusieurs canaux de puissance moyenne à élever situées dans un emplacement fixe. Elles sont typiquement utilisées par des canaux simples à pouvoir faible, des radios bidirectionneles comme des téléphones cellulaires. Lorsque tu utilises ton téléphone cellulaire, les signaux de ton téléphone sont reçues et envoyé à une station de base à proximité. - Technical
