Computerization of signal strength measurements for mobile telephone system / Norani Atan and Norjanah Mohd Yunos

The computerisation of signal strength measuring equipment for mobile telephone system in a moving vehicle involves the design of hardware and development of software which will be the interface between the radio equipment and the personal computer. With this, the collected data during field measurements can be stored in a diskette and processed later. For signal strength measurement the main objective is to have two kind of results :• graph of signal strength versus distance graph of signal strength versus time For Case 1, this is the condition where data is collected at the same time when the vehicle is moving. From this data the graph of signal strength versus distance is plotted. For Case 2, this is the condition where data is collected when the vehicle is not moving especially at a junction or when standstill in a heavy traffic. The data collected will be plotted as signal strength versus time.
