Introduction

A bit of theory

A cell phone is almost a living creature. He is always trying to communicate with base station ... This happens regardless of the owner's wishes. Of course, if the handset is on. The base station transmits the signal for the handset at frequencies 935.2 - 959.8 MHz (important! This is GSM900), and the mobile phone broadcasts at frequencies 890.2 - 914.8 MHz. Harsh mathematical calculations suggest that the maximum possible distance between a cell phone and a base station can be 35 km. This is due to the operation of TDMA technology - each mobile station is allocated a time slot of 0.577 milliseconds (more precisely, the ratio is 15/26), during which time the mobile station must have time to respond to the cell. The speed of propagation of radio waves is finite and well-known - 300 thousand km / s, the maximum distance is calculated as a simple multiplication of time by speed. This is how these same 35 km are obtained. However, if the theoretical calculated value looks very nice, then in reality everything is a little different. For GSM-900 there are 5 power classes of cellular devices: 1st - 20 W, 2nd - 8 W, 3rd - 5 W, 4th - 2 W and 5 - 0.8 W. In reality, we have not seen a single wearable tube with a power of more than 2 watts. It is impossible to penetrate a distance of 35 km with such characteristics. If it is quite simple to increase the power of the base station - you need to install a more powerful transformer and agree with the supervisory authorities, then it is not possible to give each user a generator or an acidic fifty-kilogram battery behind his back. Literally everything plays against the subscriber of the cellular network: weather, terrain, infrastructure and much more. So the real distance at which communication is possible in each particular case is achieved by a simple experiment with a cell phone. In other words, you are given the most realistic reason to reliably measure the "sensitivity" of your cellular device in the field. Remember that the value you measure will be firmly tied to a specific cell phone and changing weather conditions. You will most likely not be allowed to take a couple of pipes for a test at a cell phone store. Therefore, only one action makes sense - be observant. Let's say you find yourself in a zone of not entirely confident reception. Ask your comrades how things are going with their cell phone calls. This experience is not the ultimate guarantee of purchasing success. We wrote earlier that even in one delivery, pipes of the same brand can work in different ways. Even soldering by a robot cannot guarantee an absolutely identical connection of conductors, let alone semiconductors and uniformity of antennas.

I see, but I can't hear at all!

Move on. The handset measures the strength of the input signal. Of course, this cannot be done without error. The GSM standards stipulate a permissible measurement error of 6.3 times (+/- 4 dB) during normal operation. For "harsh" operating conditions, be it, for example, a very low temperature, the standard allows to make an error of 15.8 times (+/- 6 dB). All of these errors actually work for completely serviceable tubes. It would be very difficult to live without them, since the manufacturers of mobile phones are physically unable to provide a reference measurement of the incoming power. After we learned about the power measurement error, it remains to go to a specific example... Let's say that you and your handset are in a place where the actual signal level of the base station is -103 dB. Settings common work the networks are set up in such a way that they tell the handset that access to it is allowed when the measured signal level is -105 dB. Of course, this is where all our errors come out. The mobile phone receiver is made in such a way that the signal level is lowered by 4 dB. The signal measured by the tube is -107 dB. So, a fully working and meeting all standards tube will be dropped from the network, since it has no right to be included in the system. Another cell phone has an implementation such that it will overestimate the measured signal by 4 dB. He will be able to register on the network and show its logo on the screen. Let's say more that if the actual signal level for such a tube is -108 dB (in the place where it is located), then the device will still be correctly registered in the operator's network. So much for the "sensitivity" of cellular devices. So the presence of the logo on the screen of your phone indicates the registration of the handset in the network, but does not guarantee normal communication. However, it's still nice. Attempting to talk can sometimes be counted as the call itself. So, dear readers, I wish you a handset with such a receiver and a measuring path that will constantly overestimate the signal power level from the base station. Thus, we have completely destroyed the myth that users of different cell phones can measure the signal levels displayed on the screens of their mobile phones. Indeed, such conversations are conducted only out of profound ignorance in the matter. Henceforth, when they ask you about the signal level and appeal to the information on the screen of the handset, you should not waste time on empty conversations. It makes no sense to compare the measured power of the incoming signal, but you should completely forget about the "reference cubes". How this phone manufacturer recounts the data in them remains a mystery. It makes no sense to waste your time on its disclosure.

Dance with a honeycomb

Extended cell

Not so long ago, near St. Petersburg on the Gulf of Finland, one of the operators used Extended Cell. Subscribers could see the name of this operator with an exclamation mark on the screen of their mobile phones. This meant that the handset saw the network, but could not communicate with it. The problem was solved by using external directional antennas when the output of the device was amplified. Thus, Extended Cell allows you to cover gigantic sparsely populated areas. However, their use is becoming less and less popular. In Siberia, such cells cannot be installed anyway, and resort areas in terms of their cellular load have long surpassed the centers of megacities in terms of the intensity of telephone conversations. Extended Cell physically cannot serve such places, and the requirement for an additional antenna does not make this communication method popular enough.

Attention, crooks

The creators of the sticker recommend sticking it under the battery. A logical move. There, the sticker will not interfere and will not interfere with the operation of a real antenna. Incidentally, the latter consumes enormous forces. Each antenna is unique in its own way and there cannot be a common panacea for all this diversity. Fraudsters can only upset the operation of your regular antenna. Possibly introduce interference and noise. It is also doubtful the advertising statement that one sticker replaces a meter long antenna. There simply cannot be a need for such a length. Of course, you can assemble a meter antenna, but it will be a very complex and not very necessary system. In a word, they make a fool of our brother. By the way, the legs of this sticker come from Asia. There really was at one time selling cell phones and special antennas in the form of stickers to them. However, the system was abandoned, since users simply could not stick them correctly. It was important to accurately position the sticker on the right part of the mobile phone. The task turned out to be overwhelming. So don't waste your money and encourage scammers.

Final word

You may be living in an area that has poor cellular signal strength and therefore want to make sure you get the phone that best supports signal reception.

Such fears are well-grounded, since many users purchase phones, enter into extremely expensive contracts with mobile operators, and only later it turns out that their operator does not have a coverage area in the place of residence. V this material we will tell you what to do in such a situation.

How important is the presence of an antenna on the phone to ensure the best reception?

High-quality signal reception on a mobile device can depend on many factors. The most important is the size of the antenna that is installed on the phone. Less modern phones operating in the GSM standard are equipped with a long antenna, which are installed at the end. This classic ...

I will raise this topic here, suddenly someone will help.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responded.

It is assumed that we will live in the future in a zone of reliable GSM signal reception in all inhabited places on the planet, and on this assumption, all mobile phone manufacturers began to save on gsm radio modules. Alas, in our version of the future there are still such places as: basements, elevator shafts, subways, secret bunkers, upper floors of high-rise buildings and dense park areas - in which many phones completely lose their network. Of course, you can always find old retro bricks from Alcatel, Nokia, Sagem (oh, my God, they don't have a camera! Even java and gprs are not present! The calls are screeching!), Which catch the signal even under water, but walking around the city with them is completely indecent ...

A search is announced for a phone with the most sensitive radio module in two nominations (the price does not matter):
1) Regular phone(relatively decent look, any form factor, gprs, java, mp3)
2) Smartphone ...

By the way, about the quality of the reception. The "non-shorted" Motorola (without GSM-1900 support) has such an option as manual band switching - you can choose 900, 1800 or 900/1800 (ie, automatic).

So, already several times I got into such situations with nationals: while the phone is on the "machine" - 1-2 sticks are displayed, and at the same time it is either impossible to call at all (it breaks), or when you call you hear such troubles that hmm ... Well, now we switch the phone to the operating mode in the 900 MHz range ... you guessed it: 4-5 sticks on the indicator, excellent quality of dialing and voice transmission :)

ZY Personally, I think that you can trust three manufacturers - Nokia, Motorola & SonyEricsson, the rest can quite realistically slip ... (there were precedents), but these are somehow calmer.

The quality of mobile communication depends on the operator there are two types of operators, the first type works in the 1800 MHz range, the second type of operators operates in the 900 MHz range, and at 900 MHz with the same transmitter power, the communication range is seven times higher than in the 1800 MHz range. that the lower the frequency, the longer the wave, respectively, the longer the wave, the less it is absorbed by various obstacles, trees, buildings, etc., that is, the longer waves better bend around the obstacle, the shorter and the quality of the connection is 900 MHz.

Bilain - 900 MHz
Megaphone - in the city 1800 MHz outside the city 900 MHz
MTS - 900 MHz
Tele2 - 1800 MHz
Fly - 1800 ...

Very often, many people ask the question: how to choose the most sensitive model of a mobile phone, they regularly ask this question in mobile phone salons in various forms, discuss it on Internet forums. By the way, in the discussions of subscribers of cellular networks, he also occupies far from the last place. Often disputants, stubbornly prove the superiority of their favorite models, as a result of which they are divided into several irreconcilable, almost warring camps. Usually they all rely on their own experience and the results of their experiments. The usual desire of a person buying a mobile phone is to choose a device that will provide reliable communication both in a country dacha and in an office - it is understandable and natural. And not only with the help unlimited tariff... The most annoying thing is to find out that your new, “cool” phone for several hundred dollars with a beautiful number cannot catch the network where almost all the cheapest models do. Many publications dedicated to cellular ...

It's not even about survival. In the usual comfort Or rather, in the absence thereof. But, who knows, suddenly having a phone will become a matter of survival in a critical situation. A fire there, a flood, an ambulance needs to be called, but you never know ...

The fact is that at the dacha we have a very bad connection. And hell knows why. But it is so. Residents of the dacha village have long been tormented and swearing. "Megafon" does not take at all. "Beeline" takes very badly. Somehow he catches "MTS". But it's also hard, on some days the signal disappears and you have to leave the house to catch it. Well, in the receiver often croaks or echoes are such that you can't make out anything.

However, I noticed the following thing. All phones are taken there in different ways. When I have 1 antenna strip on my smartphone, my wife has 2 on her phone. And when I have no signal at all, she has 1. And they call her more often. And she sends SMS without problems, but they often "hang" with me. In a word, it's also about the phone itself, about the power ...

On w3bsit3-dns.com, the collective mind suggested that Motors remain leaders in terms of reception quality. Some Samsung, Lenovo and Huawei were also mentioned. The last two are somehow scary to take. Samsung Galaxy S3 seemed too healthy. From the remaining motors, I removed the old ones from Android 2.x.x, which were not on sale and were too expensive (budget up to 15,000). After all the filters, there was only Motorola RAZR i for 13,200 left. It was scary to take. The previous phone from Motorola Defy +, as has been said more than once, pleased only with the quality of reception. Everything else was terrible. But there’s nowhere to go - there was no alternative for my requirements. It turned out that he was afraid in vain. Apparently, Google got its brains right after buying the company, and they began to make adequate devices under the Motorola brand.

Pros of the phone:
-Excellent welcome. Feels like it catches as well as Defi.
-Long battery life. Half an hour ago, it was completely discharged, having endured 58 hours, of which at least 13 hours were in the zone of poor reception. Everything...

What kind of phone models do you remember with a special receiving power? :))

Well, for example, Nokia 3310 ... Actually, the best reception is with devices with monochrome display.

I usually use the 6310i ... it also has a monochrome screen :))

Friends! I have lg optimus g and some of its features disappoint me: poorly catching the network, i.e. in places with an uncertain reception, the whistle begins when the network simply falls off, then it shows that the network seems to be there and the reception is about half, but they cannot get through to me, etc. Therefore, the question arose about choosing a smart with good network reception. But now everyone is somehow hammering a bolt into this important function of the phone and does not mention it in the reviews.

Prompt pliz smart close to such requirements:
1) good reception of 2g / 3g network !!! well, GPS also does not hurt;
2) a battery with an average autonomy time (the more the better, or with a removable battery);
3) a screen from 4 inches (4.5 is better, and that vision is not ice);
4) The axis is an android or whatever :) (the iPhone catches the network also not very much like my optimus (my friend has 5 and the same difficulties, but suddenly we are mistaken.));
5) the smart will be used in tandem with the iPad (special compatibility is needed only for cloud services - Yandex, Google, ...

Among the characteristics modern phones often one is lost important parameter- connection quality. The Danish Energy Agency and officials from the Nordic telecommunications administrations conducted a test to find out this characteristic. 26 popular devices in the region took part in the study.

The quality of the connection was checked at a time when the gadgets were in the hands of a person and lay on the table. Here, quality refers to the loss of signal by the antenna. mobile device for voice communication and data transmission.

Apple smartphones do poorly in the hands of the user. Experts are inclined to believe that the metal case is to blame - other metal accessories are also of poor quality. And the Lumia 650, Sony Xperia The Z5 Compact and the latest flagships from Samsung have performed well.

The signal quality of the data transmission of phones when held in the right hand. The table is sorted by the popular 4G LTE800 standard in the region. In Ukraine, only UMTS2100 is relevant

One of the study's authors, Professor Gert Pedersen of Aalaborg University, says that some phones require normal work hundreds of times more powerful signal. The expert believes that on phones it is worth noting the efficiency of the antenna, as today the energy efficiency of household appliances is marked.

The researchers also tested the performance of several popular tablets in the region: Nexus 9, iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2, Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet. They were tested when working on a stand and when holding the device with both hands.

But only four of them have a built-in GSM modem (Sony Experia Z4 tablet, Apple iPad Air 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, Apple iPad mini 4), and only they were tested.

In addition to ensuring a reliable connection to the base station, smartphone manufacturers must monitor the radiation power. Although the harmful effects of radio waves from mobile phones on human health have not been proven, in its Samsung time when it turned out that one of the models had a SAR of 2.7-2.9 W / kg, she voluntarily withdrew 140,000 devices from sale. One thing is clear: the lower this level, the safer the use of the device.
