Challenge Some wireless services are allocated a single

lump of frequency• Unlike cellular

How to do two-way communications

Two Way Communications

Simplex One frequency One party transmits at a time

• Walkie-talkies

Frequency 1

Half Duplex Two frequencies One party transmits at a time

• Wireless LANs

Frequency 1

Frequency 2

Full Duplex Two frequencies Both parties can transmit at the same time

• Cellular phones

Frequency 1

Frequency 2

What To make optimum use of available bandwidth To overcome transmission problems

Choices FDD TDD OFDM

Frequency Division Duplexing Dividing the allotted frequency into sub-bands Each sub-band has a designated direction

ISM band

FDD + FDMA

Time Division Duplexing Dividing the allotted frequency into time slots Each time slot goes in one of two directions

ISM band

Multipath Is A Problem

Direct path

Reflected path

So Is Line Of Sight

Direct path

Reflected path

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Solves multipath Deals with Non-Line Of Sight (NLOS) situations

How By dividing up a broadband signal into multiple signals

• Which slows it down

Visually

OFDM Example

RecapWhat Comments

FDD Divides a frequency bandinto sub-bands for two-waycommunications

Good for telephony

TDD Divides a frequency bandinto time slots for two-waycommunictions

Optimum use ofbandwidth

OFDM Divides a broadband signalinto multiple narrowbandsignals

The Future - Health Concerns

Health Concerns

Status Evidence inconclusive Results statistical in nature

Adverse Health Effects

Two 1) Ionization

• Molecular changes

2) Thermal• Body heating

Health Concerns

RF Factors Effecting Heating Frequency

• It depends

Power density• High is bad

Time of exposure• Long is bad

Frequency

Bad Frequencies 30 -300 MHz

• Most efficient absorption by body

2.4 GHz• Efficient absorption by water

Power Density

In Perspective 100 mW/cm2 = microwave oven 1 mW/cm2 = measurable body heating 1 W/cm2 = at the bottom of a cell tower

Key Issue Can the body dissipate the heat

• Depends on blood flow

• Some areas more vulnerable than others

Exposure Guidelines Whole body

• Power density (mW/cm2)

• Averaged over 30 minutes

Partial body• Specific absorption rate (W/Kg)

• 1.6 W/Kg maximum

The Bottom Line

You're more likely to be injured in a car crash

while you're talking on your cell phone than you are from its RF radiation
