If you put a decent transmitter on each of those 197 dishes that will be in south africa, could it knock out satellites with the combined focused EMI?

- lionkor 3y agoThe more general version of that question would be: Whats the closest distance it can focus to?
- TeMPOraL 3y agoIsn't this an interferometer? As in, compensating for lack of focus with lots of math and some clever assumptions? I don't think you can operate it in reverse the way you can with a single optical/radio system.

- jojobas 3y agoGPS and some geostationary satellites should be possible, LEO not so much as they'd be below the horizon for at leas half of the array.
