It would be much easier to spot a TV flickering through a window. My guess is that's what they did, and then claim that they had detected it with their super duper high-tech antennas.
- camkego 6y agoI believe the technology used to detect the signals as described in the article was also used during World War II to detect radio transmitters of spies and other operatives. It’s very real technology.
- jansan 6y agoBut transmitting is different from receiving. How do you detect a receiver?
- xorcist 6y agoThere is a lot of HF leakage from an analogue TV set up close. Not many users put their TV in a Faraday cage.
- vaduz 6y agoRather trivially, as any superheterodyne receiver from has an intermediate frequency oscillator that is mixed with the signal - and it is hard to not emit RF from that. Modern equipment just tends to be better designed to tighter tolerances as both the standards on inadvertent emissions and manufacturing have been tightened so it emits much less - but still not zero.

- steerablesafe 6y agoI think the idea is that they never went to court.
