Signals can still pass through reflections or diffraction, but performance may be degraded.What does FSPL (Free Space Path Loss) represent?FSPL measures the loss of signal strength as it travels through free space. It depends on distance and frequency: higher frequencies and longer distances cause more loss.What is the function of an ODU (Outdoor Unit)?The ODU is mounted near the antenna and handles RF (Radio Frequency) transmission and reception, reducing signal loss by keeping the RF components close to the antenna. How does an IDU (Indoor Unit) differ from an ODU?The IDU is installed indoors and is responsible for signal processing, modulation/demodulation, and interface with the core network, while the ODU deals with the RF signal.
