This sounds interesting but it most likely will only be of use in populated areas where there is enough signal overlap from broadcast towers. You’ll still need GPS in the countryside and on water.
- bri3k 2y agoIn a lot of cities the broadcast towers are concentrated in the same place, I wonder how effective it could be.
- lxgr 2y agoAt least in Europe, when broadcasting went digital (DVB-T), a lot of cities started being covered by single frequency network transmission, which specifically leverages different transmitter locations transmitting the same signal to decrease dead zones. Due to how OFDM works, I suppose the idea here is to intentionally send a heterogeneous signal on a few non-overlapping subcarriers (for single-frequency networks) or on different transponders at different locations (since single frequency networks aren't as common in the US due to how broadcasting evolved there, although ATSC 3.0 apparently also allows single frequency networks).
