in the example.
Figure 6-5. One FOR, low optical loss, medium uplink gain and attenuation
Figure 6-5 shows a FOR connected with low optical loss, medium uplink gain and
medium uplink attenuation. The BTS sensitivity degradation is low.
High total uplink gain and a BTS sensitivty with repeater very close to the BTS sensitivity
at the repeater antenna indicates a similar coverage area for the BTS and the FOR.
