Re: Why am I not suprised Cell towers output at high power as well. For every 3 feet of air the power is reduced by 1/2. |

NYC Metro | said by NOCMan:Cell towers output at high power as well. For every 3 feet of air the power is reduced by 1/2. Hmmm, I thought it had to do with the Inverse Square Law.
The energy or intensity decreases by a factor of 1/4 as the distance is doubled

And your loss in Air isn't true for power.
It's the inverse square law. You have to square the power output of a tower to get a 3db (x2) increase in power x distance away. |
