Wikipedia
Coverage

Coverage may refer to:

Coverage (lens)

The coverage of a lens is the size of the image it can produce, measured as the diameter of the image circle produced by the optics. In a camera system the coverage must be large enough to cover the sensor or film used. In a view camera system, because the film plane can be moved independently of the lens plane, the lens must have enough coverage to cover the film while it is offset from the center of the coverage area. Inadequate coverage can lead to vignetting.

Coverage (album)

Coverage is the fourth studio album by American singer Mandy Moore. It was released on October 21, 2003 through Epic Records. The album consists of 12 cover versions of songs from the 1970s and 1980s, which Moore worked on with new producer and songwriter John Fields.

Coverage was the first studio album by the singer in two years following Mandy Moore (2001) and was preceded by the lead single, "Have a Little Faith in Me", which reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Pop 100.

Upon release, the album received mixed reviews from music critics. While some praised Moore for being experimental and stepping beyond her previously teen pop-centric material, others felt her selection of songs to cover and her approach to them led to inconsistency and lack of concentration.

Coverage (telecommunication)

In telecommunications, the coverage of a radio station is the geographic area where the station can communicate. Broadcasters and telecommunications companies frequently produce coverage maps to indicate to users the station's intended service area. Coverage depends on several factors, such as orography (i.e. mountains) and buildings, technology, radio frequency and perhaps most importantly for two-way telecommunications the sensitivity and transmit efficiency of the consumer equipment. Some frequencies provide better regional coverage, while other frequencies penetrate better through obstacles, such as buildings in cities.

The ability of a mobile phone to connect to a base station depends on the strength of the signal. That may be boosted by higher power transmissions, better antennas, taller antenna masts or alternative solutions like in-building picocells. Normal Macro-Cell signals need to be boosted to pass through buildings, which is a particular problem designing networks for large metropolitan areas with modern skyscrapers, hence the current drive for small cells and micro and pico cells. Signals also do not travel deep underground, so specialized transmission solutions are used to deliver mobile phone coverage into areas such as underground parking garages and subway trains.
