Could Quantum Physics Allow Smaller FTA Dishes?

[cyberham]

This article is over my head, but it just suggests that changing technology can make things once thought impossible possible. How about a 1-foot diameter C-band dish?

Very interesting read.

It sure would be nice to be able to use much smaller C-band antennas. Not sure if that'll be possible with 2 degree spacing. If only they'd move all services to Ku........

Maybe wouldn't even need a dish. An array of these on a microchip would likely be lots, just point it to the proper satellite. They are using Nm wavelengths though...

Rain and ku band is why, I assume.

Rain and ku band is why, I assume.

Maybe this new tech would overcome most of the rain fade issues?

They way I read the article its all about light wave and nothing to do with dishes or satellite communications.

Hopefully they might add Subspace radio theory on quantum physics!
