StarLink for CT Tesla

[Richard V.]

I read an article this past weekend of a Dishy at a SC station. They say it’s for customer wifi

It’s not THAT the wind is blowing. It’s WHAT the wind is blowing.

I’m sure it will survive hurricane winds. But if the wind topples a tree…

Star link antennae are phased array but they only steer electronically in one direction.


Works great if you park on your roof. Otherwise, not so great.
Gues that depends on how you define "soon".

"In a month or so..."

Phased arrays do not work 'in one direction'. They work in the axises they've beed designed for. How do you think CRTs worked?

One axis is easiest, yes, but it's not a physical impossibility to have more. I have no idea how they're going to work with cell phones and these immobile panels but clearly they're doing something.

Post is a year old? Haven't seen Adjelange for a few moths months now again.

CRTs are a cathode ray tube with single aperture and up to three independent beams that are steered by coils to scan the phosphorus screen. Phased arrays are multiple antenna elements, where the signal is intentionally delayed between elements, to artificially make up plane wave that travels in a certain direction.

You are right, most are two dimensional and is why our Starlink has never moved since it was initially setup, despite tracking multiple satellites whilst in use.

The T-mobile setup for mobiles uses a large dedicated Starlink v2 phased array that can beam form to a single mobile device, but only does this for a short time. This is enough amplification for the standard mobile antenna to talk back and forth to Starlink, but only has low bandwidth data rate because the signal has to switch between users often.

 

[Crissa]

Yeah, but Cyberman reposted it.

The two work in similar ways: They manipulate field strengths to create a lens-like effect on the signals and the 'array' part is how it gets a weak signal seem stronger.

I’m gonna do this!
