Lucius,

The difference in power output between CDMA and GSM is quite substantial, on the order of 5 times more for GSM, and an even bigger difference for analog.

This is not true.

CDMA phones transmit up to 200mW.

GSM900 hand portable phones transmit pulses of 2W max with an 8-1 duty cycle, giving a maximum average power of 250mW.

GSM1800/1900 phones transmit pulses of 1W max with an 8-1 duty cycle, giving a maximum average power of 125mW.

AMPS hand portables transmit up to 600mW.

In areas of good signal strength power control systems reduce the transmit power.

John

Lucious, sounds like a good discussion for curmudgeons.
