Article Snippet: Ghana ( , ) , Anritsu MS2601A ( ) and MS2721B ( ) , NI ( ) or ( ) , NI ( ) , 1–2 min, 0–2 GHz; 800–1000 MHz and 1700–1900 MHz ( ) , Log –periodic ( ) , Anritsu log-periodic MP666A ( ) , 1.5 m ( ) , 1.7 m ( ) , Six-minute weighted averaging time was used for all measurements. Measurements taken in direct line of sight to base station. The signals were measured during the day over a period of 3 h between 1000 and 1300 at a distance of ∼300 m from each base station ( ) Each measurement point consisted of three measured data based on the orientation of the antenna (horizontal, vertical and slanted) for duration of 1–2 min ( ) .
