Frank, from a historical perspective .... I'd like to interject, with appropriate regret & sadness :-), that you all have this "Broadband-Narrowband thing" quite some backwards.... In the early to late 1960s -- the FAA distributed their "Primary Radar" data (analog/analogue Azimuth & Antenna Orientation-"Servo" data) via Radar Microwave Links, to various Air Traffic Control Centers. The technology was based on such stuff as reflex klystrons & the like. In the early 1970s ... With the advent of Digitized Primary & Secondary-Beacon Radar ... technology not unlike what you all are mistakenly calling Broadband, was named "Narrow-Band Radar" ; and the 1960s technology was appropriately termed "Broadband Radar". So, I'm sure that you can plainly see that you ( once again, it's all too sad to say) must have your terminology somewhat askew. BTW .. is there really a Narrow-Band to Broad-Band demarcation point , in the RF LAN or Wireless LL world ?? Regards, Mardy.
