When I have full bars vs only one or two bars i say the signal is stronger. Is that literally just a higher amplitude wave? Why does service slow dawn as opposed to just stop when my phone can no longer read it?
In: Physics
The wave attenuates (lower amplitude) with distance just like sounds are quieter when you’re further from them or there are obstacles.
The speed reduction is largely because as the signal is reduced, your device will have trouble understanding the transmission and will detect errors and request re-transmission. Or vice-versa in the other direction.
