Communications Amplifiers: Can They Really Take You Farther And Help You Be Heard Better?
By Chris Heavens, AR Modular RF
Systematically, all system losses and antenna gains are all "reciprocal" and as such they affect both communication directions equally. However, additional transmit power affects only one end of the path, specifically the end of the path receiving the amplified signal. In many scenarios the portable location has less power than the base or vehicle-mounted system. This reason explains needing a small portable amplifier system.
