Except that no one suggested it was impossible...which leaves one to wonder why you are using ad hominem against an argument that was never made.

- todd3834 15y agoI believe you meant Straw Man fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
- furyofantares 15y agoThat's not ad hominem, it's just an insult. But you are right that he's attacking an argument that nobody made.
- Nrsolis 15y agoMy apologies. What I meant to say is that jamming a CDMA signal is TRIVIALLY easy. It's been done, it doesn't require a lot of equipment, and it's very very effective. There have been MULTIPLE attacks against supposedly jam-proof wireless systems that not only showed that they we not only jammable, but that the mechanism designed to make them jam proof only made it easier. In particular, the control channels that manage access to the air interface are notoriously vulnerable to disruption. So my beef is that the idea that a spread spectrum system is somehow more resistant to jamming is just plain wrong.
