Factors That Impede Transmission and Reception of Mobile Cellular and Global Positioning System (GPS) Signals in Adamawa State
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering(IOSR-JECE) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
This project was designed to assess the extent to which some factors affect transmission and reception of mobile cellular telephone signals in Adamawa State. To carry out the study, four research questions and one hypothesis were formulated, all derived from the literature review. The research question ascertain to what extent does mode of propagation, weather, topography, cellular site obstruct transmission and reception of mobile cellular telephone and Global Positioning System (GP S)Signals in Adamawa State. Questionnaire was used to collect relevant data from a total population of 40 Engineers/Technicians of Globacom, MTN and Vmobile who were operating in Adamawa State. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyse data collected, while analysis of variance was employed to test the hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance. The study among other things revealed that there are factors that obstruct transmission and reception of signals to a very great extent are mountain, lack of enough number of relay stations antenna not sitting each other and to a great extent are capacity of transmitter forest. It was recommended that enough number of relay stations should be installed and antenna should be installed high enough to avoid obstruction by mountains.
