Xona's satellites will use a similar signal, but one that's 100 times stronger, to offer greater resiliency against such deliberate interference. But the Pulsar-0 spacecraft also carries a GPS receiver to make sure the two systems will be able to work together. When the Xona team first turned on that receiver a few months after Pulsar-0's launch last year, they were shocked by the scale of sign...
is signal strength just higher volume? |

It's likely a higher amplitude, that is. In radio, normally, the electricity current. Yet, hardware or a human, as a recipient has limits in terms of amplitude, the current, and either ears may get damaged, or brain get fried, or worse, unfortunately.

The transmit power of these satellites is on the order of 200W, so 100x more would be 20kW, so about the same as a TV transmitter. And you can drive right past a TV transmitter, whereas satellites are thousands of miles away in space, and the received power here on earth is a fraction of the emitted power. |

Thank you for the clarification, with more insight! I get that these lack the energy required to break chemical bonds, alter DNA, or cause damage to brain tissue etc. What if we consider radio signal reflections and the changes in the radio environment? Would these interference cause radio difference enough to cause unpredictable issues on the radio perception/safety for human? |

It's likely a higher amplitude, that is. In radio, normally, the electricity current. Yes, it may be related to the sound signal volume indeed. Yet, hardware or a human, as a recipient has limits in terms of amplitude, the current, and either ears may get damaged, or brain get fried, or worse, unfortunately. Six men are likely to have been accidentally exposed to high levels of very high freque...
This is accurate. RF burn sucks but you've got to be touching a powerful transmitter, and pray you're not wearing jewelry. |

you need to learn about inverse square law. |

Thank you for the reminder! Yes, I recall the law learned around two decades ago alongside the waveguides and reflectors. |
