Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

For some reason I thought block 3 gps has some kind of rotating side channel bit selection method to resist jamming “perform more consistently in poor electromagnetic conditions” or some such…

would work if it's regular EM interference but when a satellite broadcasts across an entire spectrum of frequencies there's little more you can do to adapt.

How would you say that interference broadcast from satellite is different?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

EM interference is going to hit lots of places across the spectrum and turn it into swiss cheese.

a satellite actively vomiting EM interference within a radio band takes away the cheese and tells you to fuck off.

I mean in a more technical sense. In what way is “traditional” terrestrial frequency jamming with wide band noise different when the source is extraterrestrial instead?

I have enough limited experience receiving and transmitting rf signals between terrestrial stations and between terrestrial and extraterrestrial stations that I’m very interested in how rf interference and therefore its mitigation is different when the interference source is extraterrestrial.
