Re: Whitespace said by tschmidt:There is concern nearby whitespace transmitters will cause problems due to signal ingress and OTA preamp overload. I assume that is no worse then situation today of nearby TV stations in rural areas. The issue isn't overload. Rather, it's the inability for a white space device to determine whether there is a TV signal present on a particular channel.
Many rural OTA viewers need high antennas with lots of gain and directivity. A white space device with a "rubber duck" antenna isn't going to know that a TV signal is there, but it is going to transmit a strong local signal and probably overpower the TV signal in the rural area. |
