Any decent spectrum analyzer will easily resolve these components. Communications receivers with narrow bandwidth, sharp cutoff filters can also resolve them, of course. And only "in that time"? You still can: there are plenty of AM stations broadcasting in the 0.5MHz to 30MHz range (and some outside that). But in 1915, it may well have been easier to analyze the signal mathematically than with hardware. The hardware may not have been very common, but certainly the math identities required were readily available, as was Fourier analysis. What if both sidebands are NOT "saying the same thing"? Then, for instance, you can broadcast stereo in a way that receivers mixing the two sidebands will still receive an acceptable mono signal. Cheers, Tom |

S* Distance from where? You are not making sense. From the station. S* ________________ Radio waves behaved the same in 1915 as they do now. The distance to a given field intensity, for the same conditions, is the same now as it was then. |

S* If you tell us where you are and which station you are talking about we might be able to find the distance!! Jeff |

S* The modulation used has nothing directly to do with the distance a signal is usefull. That is determined, at a given power and state of the the ionosphere, mostly by signal to noise ratio which is influenced by the bandwidth of the modulation method but not by the modulation method itself. Electomagnetic propagate works the same today as it did in 1915 or even 30,000 BC if anyone had been around with a radio. You are a babbling idiot. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
