Re: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum CW carrier
Well, that should have been CDMA, not TDMA :-(
I've attached a short proof of the mathematics. It assumes synchronization, but I left out that detail to keep it to
a single page.

Re: The evils of leaving solder flux on boards
That's been my historic practice. Ultrasonic was a new idea. Might need to reconsider that.

Re: The evils of leaving solder flux on boards
Be careful with circuit boards in an ultrasonic cleaner.
The bond wires between header and die can be broken by the ultrasonic energy.

Well, add another flux repair to the list. LG window AC wouldn't work as in no response at all. On inspection board was saturated with flux. Cleaned it and it immediately started.

Re: The evils of leaving solder flux on boards
Yeah! Flux residues and dust are not to be overlooked. Let me tell some of my experiences (though not RF related), just to show how slippery they can be:

The evils of leaving solder flux on boards
When I was living in Houston I had 2 VCRs die, each after about a year of light use. I took one apart to strip anything useful and observed that the entire board was covered with flux which is

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum CW carrier
Anyone know of any work on sending Morse via PRN DSSS carrier symbols?
That is use a specified PRN to modulate the carrier to spread the spectrum and send a dit over more BW, e.g 1 kHz. This

Have Fun!
