Also, because the signals coming from the satellites are apparently spread spectrum, it will be much less easy to reverse-engineer the codes than I anticipated. Because we know what the output of the atomic clocks should be, we know what the "clear" signal has to be. So I expected extreme difficulties in encoding these signals - it's like trying to design a good code when you have someone with access to the plaintext working on breaking it. However, with the spread spectrum approach, the difficulty will be to be able to detect the signal in the broad-band noise. |
