    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system

    Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi‑Fi access points to discover where a device is located. [1]It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long. [2]

  3. Path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_loss

    Path loss is a major component in the analysis and design of the link budget of a telecommunication system. This term is commonly used in wireless communications and signal propagation. Path loss may be due to many effects, such as free-space loss, refraction, diffraction, reflection, aperture-medium coupling loss, and absorption. Path loss is ...

  4. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    Since this factor is not related to the radio wave path but comes from the receiving antenna, the term "free-space path loss" is a little misleading. Directivity of receiving antenna- while the above formulas are correct, the presence of Directivities Dt and Dr builds the wrong intuition in the FSPL Friis transmission formula. The formula seems ...

  5. Broadcast signal intrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_signal_intrusion

    A broadcast signal intrusion is the hijacking of broadcast signals of radio, television stations, cable television broadcast feeds or satellite signals without permission or licence. Hijacking incidents have involved local TV and radio stations as well as cable and national networks.

  6. Television interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_interference

    It is possible to also get a bad picture if the signal strength of the TV transmitter is too high. An attenuator inserted in the antenna lead-in wire may be used if the television receiver displays signs of overload in the RF front end. Strong out-of-band signals may also affect television reception and may require band-pass filters to reduce ...

  7. Television antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

    Outdoor antennas provide up to a 15 dB gain in signal strength and 15-20 dB greater rejection of ghost signals in analog TV. [6] Combined with a signal increase of 14 dB due to height and 11 dB due to lack of attenuating building walls, an outdoor antenna can result in a signal strength increase of up to 40 dB at the TV receiver. [6] Outdoor ...

  9. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength_in...

    In telecommunications, [1] particularly in radio frequency engineering, signal strength refers to the transmitter power output as received by a reference antenna at a distance from the transmitting antenna. High-powered transmissions, such as those used in broadcasting, are expressed in dB-millivolts per metre (dBmV/m).
