4. 4 Downtown areas of the cities congested with many high rise buildings are usually the weak or blind areas Question Will repeater increase the RF radiation A No it will decrease instead As it can be searched easily through internet the tower would order the mobile phone to increase its output power in order to ensure successful connection when the mobile signal bar is few there will be stronger mobile output power level when the mobile signal bar is less and the strongest one can reach 2W GSM moreover the mobile phone is usually as near as less than 5cm to human body when people are in phone calls Not only it influences badly the human bodies but also run out of the battery power much more quickly usually the mobile phone gets hot in such status The maximum power levels of F20 27 5S repeaters are 0 1w to 0 5w and it decreases to be maximum 0 05W when reaching server antenna And since the server antenna is installed over the ceiling or onto the wall there is usually more than 3 meter away from the human body 3meter away means at least 40dB propagation loss or 10000 times less 0 000005W and therefore it is too weak to influence human bodies although it is still a very good signal for mobile phones And when a repeater is installed it improves the mobile signals in the coverage and the successful phone call can be connected easily with a much less power level of the mobile phone thus it will reduce tremendously the RF ra
