That would be with an isotropic radiator, right? I'd assume a cell tower antenna would send very little energy straight up or down, which would mean it was somewhat focused.
- contravariant 9y agoIt assumes the cell tower is just a scaled up version of the small antenna. If a cell tower has better technology that allows it to focus its signal better then obviously it is going to perform better.
- Johnythree 9y agoNo, it allows the focused Transmitter to use less power. Any excess power prevents re-use of the frequency in adjacent cells.
- Johnythree 9y agoDirectivity (eg gain) makes no difference. An increase of X, is still an increase of X.
- BenjiWiebe 9y agoMy point was, the inverse square law is for an isotropic radiator.
