Antenna
A device which radiates and/or receives radio signals. When working as a transmitter,
it converts high frequency current to electromagnetic waves; when working as a
receiver, it coverts electromagnetic waves to high frequency current.
Baseband
Baseband is a form of modulation in which the information is applied directly onto the
physical transmission medium.
BSS
In GSM the Base Station System is a term given to a BSC (Base Station Controller)
and the BTS (Base Transceiver Station) associated with it. The number of BTS
associated with a BSC is dependent on the manufacturer. Although not mandatory,
through interpretation of the Abis interface standard BTS and BSC employed within a
BSS will always be supplied by the same manufacturer.
The BSS is the physical equipment used to give radio coverage to a determined
geographical zone called a cell. Functionally, a BSS is subdivided into BSC and BTS.
Base Transceiver
Station
Cell
Radio network object that can be uniquely identified by a User Equipment from a
(cell) identification that is broadcasted over a geographical area from one UTRAN
Access Point. A Cell is either FDD or TDD mode.
Carrier
A sine wave, whose bandwidth is much higher than the bandwidth of a signal and,
which can be identified by amplitude, frequency, and phase.

The Global System for Mobile communications is a second generation digital cellular
telecommunication system which was first planned in the early 1980s.

Handover
The transfer of a users connection from one radio channel to another (can be the same
or different cell).
Receive diversity
The most common type of diversity, where a mobile device uses two physically
separate antennas to combine signals from the two antennas to reduce the impact of
spatial variations in signal strength and thus increase the average data rate available sometimes dramatically.
TMA
TRX

A Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) is a lower noise amplifier installed close to the
antenna, for example, on a tower. It amplifies weak signals from the antenna, thus
improving UMTS coverage, enhancing receiver sensitivity and reducing the transmit
power of the UE.
A transmitter and receiver housed together in a single unit and having some circuits in
common, often for portable or mobile use.
