How *could* such a signal be encoded? Short bursts of light and time based sampling? Backscattered signal strength measurements of some sort? Doppler shifts? Anyone know or got suggestions? -- # ---Tom Adams--- # {bellcore,ihnp4}!sw1e!uusgta St. Louis MO 314-235-4237 # Opinions expressed here are mine, not those of Southwestern Bell Telephone
