      Hey phased array radar, like what’s used on Aegis cruisers, fuck yeah. Beam steering works pretty well on WiFi routers that use it, so the phase modulation is pretty inherent to that use (or not). LIDAR = RADAR but with lazurz yo, and that shit’s trés cool. Damn tech can be fun!

      Soooooo 🥹 when calculating voltage drops on our elevation maps? -squee-

        It’s all about frequency, frequency, frequency.

        Also, I hadn’t heard the term “beam steering” before, I was only familiar with beamforming, it is however the coolest shit ever.

      anyone who doesn’t think beamforming is the coolest shit should just go do office work until they cark it because they’re painfully boring

      it’s basically magic
