basically, mobile phone reception appears NOT to be affected by wind. But is that correct? at what point does wind, rain, etc affect radio signals?
Ho, ho, ho. Its the late Noughties, not the 1990s - reception is no longer an issue now. There are mobile phone receivers hidden in: Office blocks Flats Trees Lamp posts Farm buildings Industrial sites The list goes on. What I am trying to say is that back in the 90s, when mobiles were just beginning to get commercially popular and available there were nowhere near as many mobile phone masts since the market didn't demand it; not enough people were using mobiles. Now everyone has one and reception is simply not an issue with ANY operator unless you live up a high mountain or in the Outer Hebrides, which I doubt you do. The huge increase in customers has meant mobile phone operators have placed receivers EVERYWHERE. So, lose the 1990s reject opinion of cellular technology and simply find the best deal possible on whichever operator it is. Reception differing on individual network operators is utter, weapons-grade bullsh!t. Differing reception between operators is such a misnomer these days that if you do suffer from bad reception, it is more likely to be your PHONE than the operator itself. And even if you do wonder into an area where your operator does not have a mast, then your mobile will automatically switch into the next nearest mast and it doesn't matter which operator hosts it. So why would anyone ever have a reception issue these days unless they are using a leather case lined with lead.
Yea I'm pretty sure it does 'cuz when I was in huricane Katrina I kept on tryin' to call the government to save me when the wind and water was fillin up my house and nobody ever answered. I bet it was cuz a the wind!
Yes it does. Wind makes things move. Trees sway and buildings sway. Radio waves tend to bounce in strange ways off objects. Some frequencies go right through and others ricochet. Depends on the signal and the location of the receiver and everything between the two. Satellite signals are more direct.
no way the wind never effects the signal of mobiles, radios, or any other but all of them are effected if there is dusty wind or rain, or thnderstorms, reason is: mobile is not effected by wind is that mobile communication is line of sight communication, signals dont really go to space,they r just transfered from one post to other and to ur mobile, but when there is shower the signal gets disturbed thats why in rain often signals are not recieved. in case of radio if it is cloudy than u dont get good reception bqz. its signals have to go to space and then come back, so if it is cloudy the signals dont really get to the satellite as strongly as they should and come back weakly, so u dont get good reception but if it is only windy and not cloudy there r lots of chances that u get good reception. so my dear remember that the rain or thunderstorm and dusty winds are basically disturbing the signals of both types of communication and they r reffered as noise.
