Cellular network Probability distribution function of frequency

AI Thread Summary
Modeling a probability distribution function (PDF) of frequency for WCDMA handsets may require field tests with multiple devices, as specific information on frequency modeling is scarce. The discussion also highlights the challenge of calculating total radiated power (TRP) increases due to improved efficiency from digitally tunable capacitors for impedance matching. A suggested approach involves assuming efficiency increases from manufacturers and applying these to RF power amplifier efficiency and current draw. However, the complexity of the modulation scheme necessitates a deeper mathematical understanding and research into specific WCDMA variations. Overall, further investigation into relevant academic papers is recommended for accurate modeling and calculations.

Hi,
I am trying to model a PDF of frequency for the WCDMA handset. I have found some info on ways of graphing a PDF of transmit power but nothing on frequency. I am hoping there is a way to model this, but think it might be something that requires field tests with multiple phones. Any thoughts?

Also I am looking into an increase in TRP from a phone due to increased efficiency, specifically the application of a digitally tunable capacitor for impedance matching. I am trying to figure out the best way to calculate the increased TRP, but don't even know what kinda of information I would need. I'm considering just assuming some manufactures efficiency increase (for one of their switching components) and applying that to the RF PA efficiency; power; current draw to find it. I do not know if this is an appropriate method or not. Any Help would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Christa Nicole

The modulation scheme is pretty complicated so this isn't going to be very easy without getting into a lot of math. You should probably track down some papers on the particular version WCDMA modulation scheme (there isn't just one - different countries have implemented variations at different points in time). The derivation itself will probably have the equation defining what you are looking for.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
