Re: [PLUG] Home Networking Question

Kind of like increasing the volume on a staticy (A new word!) radio
station? You can either adjust the antenna or change the channel.
Although, I have seen some good results with powered FM antennas.

Mere amplification of a weak signal also amplifies the noise in the same
frequency range. What's called signal to noise ratio is not necessarily
improved. This is actually more fatal in data communication than in
speech or even music because of the required bandwidth being significently
greather. The ideal aatena permits you to adjust the apparent
antenna length and the dimensions of the tank filter that determines which
frequency you get. Apparant antenna length determines the ideal receiving
frequency for a particular antenna.
