On-frequency repeaters provide network operators with a cost-effective means of extending coverage to areas low signal strength. Their ability transmit and receive on the same channel essentially renders their operation transparent rest network. The maximum gain an on-frequency repeater is, however, limited by amount isolation that exists between transmitter receiver antennas. Adaptive cancellation techniques may be used mitigate lack isolation, but performance is track time-varying...

Magnetoreception has been demonstrated in all five vertebrate classes. In rodents, nest building experiments have shown the use of magnetic cues by two families molerats, Siberian hamsters and C57BL/6 mice.
