The Typical Range of A 40-meter Cellular on Wheels ( COW)
The range of a Cellular on Wheels (COW) unit, including a 40-meter COW , can vary based on several factors such as the terrain, antenna type, frequency bands used, transmit power, and surrounding environment. 111 111 Here are some considerations related to the range of a 40-meter COW unit: Factors Influencing Range: 1. Antenna Height: The height of the antenna mast (40 meters in this case) allows for a clear line of sight and can extend the coverage range, especially in flat terrain. 2. Frequency Bands: Different frequency bands have varying propagation characteristics. Lower frequencies generally offer better coverage over longer distances, while higher frequencies provide higher data rates but may have shorter ranges. 3. Transmit Power: The transmit power of the COW unit's antennas affects the signal strength and coverage range. Higher transmit power can extend the reach of the signal. 4. Terrain: Terrain features such as hi...
