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.

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
