    And to be fair, there’s a lot more terrestrial things that causes GPS interference. I work with a guy that runs a boosted CB radio and it causes havoc with GPS signals. EM geometry is really interesting on how signals get encoded. It was fun studying how CDMA and GPS work.

      Wireless engineering concepts are simultaneously interesting while also making me want to take my own life.

      It’s quite the dichotomy.

      All the different ways we’ve managed to chop up EM waves to implement the incredible wireless technologies we use daily is fascinating. But the math… Dear lord…
