A 5.7% reduction in funded locations for StarLink is… not dramatic. If the project falls on that basis, they've got bigger problems. Much of that discrepancy falls squarely on the shoulders of the FCC and incumbent ISPs filing form 477, as well as the RDOF auction being held before improving

To add a bit more, as is easily seen below, the amplitudes of each of the transfer functions between the three transmit and three receive antennas are extremely similar. This is to be expected, of course, since the "aperture" of each array is very small compared to the distance between them.

You can approximate the H-matrix as containing only complex numbers or complex frequency responses as below, however the truth is that in the real world, in general, the entries in the H-matrix are Green's functions, aka impulse response functions derivable from Maxwell's equations and all the

Well, I hesitate to drag this out, however Maxwell's equations and the invariance of the laws of physics ensure that all path loss matrices are reciprocal. What that means is that at any for any given set of fixed boundary conditions (nothing moving/changing!), the propagation loss between any

the biggest problem starlink faces is shipping enough devices (and launching the satellites to support them), not demand. There are enough people interested in paying full price that if the broadband subsities did not exist, it wouldn't reduce the demand noticably. but if the feds are handing

--- Begin Message --- This amplitude only channel estimate shown was taken from radios connected using conducted equipment or cables. It illustrates how non-ideal conducted equipment based testing is, i.e. our signal processing and MCS rate selection engineers aren't being sufficiently challenged!

--- Begin Message --- The slides show that for WiFi every transmission produces a complex frequency response, aka the h-matrix. This is valid for that one transmission only. The slides show an amplitude plot for a 3 radio device hence the 9 elements per the h-matrix. It's assumed that the WiFi
