Low-pass Filter
- Any transmission system supports a limited band of
frequencies
- A frequent system:
- low-pass filter
af for f flim

Be careful:
We will mix gain and attenuation
since both are popular!

Attenuation - relative to
attenuation at 1000 Hz!
1 - unequalized
2 - equalized
Frequency [Hz]
Note: Attenuation relative to attenuation at 1000 Hz!

A proper quantization unit has to be chosen. For voice (not CD quality !!!) 256
levels give an excellent quality (8 bits coding, usually sign plus 7 bits value).

In addition:
-Reciprocity does not hold (your hear me but I do not read you
-Individual identical radios are NOT identical
See additional reading for details!

Multipath Fading
The received signal is the sum of the signals arriving along different paths,
Except for the LOS path all paths are the result of reflection and diffraction,
