  • Page 101: Spread Spectrum Communication

    Spread Spectrum Communication 3.1.1 Notes for Wireless Operations • If there are too many communications errors, first make sure that the BHT points directly at an access point because the 2.4 GHz band requires a more or less straight line path. Note also that the low-power radio waves have trouble passing through human bodies and other obstacles along that path.
