in EE times, some grad students from NC state have started laying gallium on silicon. The max frequency rate just went from 4 gig to 40. [1/14/2002]
Course 40 gig signals wont get into the valleys either. but now I realize that they can use the 40gig to shape the transmitter output curve. You dont havta put out a sin wave at 120 or whatever meghertz any more. You can make it sawtooth, or multipolar, quadrature, all kindsa shapes which an ordinary FM or TV tuner would not be at all able to lock on to. It offers to change the definition of what 'bandwidth' is. Look at the ingenuity applied to the 3k of POTS, which fools around with phase angles, and you see a universe of infinite 'channels' open up. There would be more than enough for every person on the planet to have as many as they wanted to keep track of, kinda like email eddies. Gonna drive the Federal Intelligence agencies nuts too. If you have 40gig precision, you can define a 100mhz curve with 32bit resolution, based on the shape of any formula, asymptotic, hyperbolic, multi-nodal, whatever. They would havta figure out what curve your system was using with a remote host. Like guessing the combination of a safe in a few minutes. And you and your host can change to a new one at any time. "Wire" tapping would be history. To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message. Also, trim this footer from any quoted replies.
