- BenjiWiebe 5y agoCitation? Some quick googling suggests that if you want to become more jam resistant, you switch to phased arrays. Which would be what intuitively makes sense to me, though I'm not an expert in phased arrays. If you have more gain straight up, then you must have less gain in other directions. Afaik, Starlink phased arrays have very high gain (low beamwidth), so they must have proportionally lower gain in other directions, or else it wouldn't add up and you'd have overunity.
