Telefoonsignalen

Telefoonsignalen are the invisible waves that carry voice and data between mobile phones and cell towers, or between landline phones and the network. These signals are a form of electromagnetic radiation, typically in the radio frequency spectrum. When you speak into a phone, your voice is converted into a digital signal, which is then modulated onto a carrier wave. This modulated wave is broadcast from the phone's antenna.

Cell towers, also known as base stations, receive these signals and transmit them to other phones or to the wider telecommunications network. For landline phones, signals travel through physical wires, usually copper or fiber optic cables, to a central exchange before being routed to their destination. The strength and clarity of a telefoonsignaal depend on factors such as distance from the nearest tower, signal obstructions like buildings or terrain, and network congestion. Interference from other electronic devices can also affect signal quality. Modern telefoonsignalen support not only voice calls but also data services like internet browsing and video streaming.
