Re: [amsat-bb] The S-band ¨sewer¨

[Robert McGwier <rwmcgwier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Geoff:

Thanks for your question.   The noise floor rising is the noise floor 
rising irrespective of whether the signal is spread or not.   If your 
entire noise floor has risen,   and you attempt to remove the spreading 
sequence,  you just spread the noise floor around, but it is still 
present.   The amount of noise in the narrow band channel signal you 
would be after would still be present if this noise were anything 
approaching uniformly distributed.

I really do think most people's  queries are related to loss of S band 
LINEAR downlink irrespective of the existence of the digital mode your 
question assumes.
