Spread Spectrum Is Good-But It Does Not Obsolete Nbc V. U.S.!, Charles Jackson, Raymond Pickholtz, Dale Hatfield
Federal Communications Law Journal
The Authors criticize recent statements by leading legal commentators suggesting that the development of spread spectrum has eliminated radio interference and helped make the underlying legal foundations for regulating spectrum obsolete. The Authors provide a non-technical explanation of how spread spectrum works and why it does not have the effect of eliminating radio interference. The Authors conclude that new technologies are likely to increase the availability of usable spectrum, but they have not wiped out the problem of interference.
