Can you explain how cell networks are able to communicate with mobile phones on such a large radius, at such low power? Obviously the transceiver towers can broadcast a fair amount of RF power over a single cell; but how can it receive signals from mobile so well, considering the low amount of power a mobile transceiver can put out, the frequency they operate on and conditions surrounding where a radio might be in a single cell?
I understand the height of an antenna can greatly increase coverage of a radio transmission, but even though these towers are able to send out RF over a sqaure area, how do these antennas pick up each of the hundreds of phones in a single cell space with nearly no power, blocked by trees and metal roofs etc?
Is this because of triangular towers in each space? How can three different towers communicate with one phone?
