Hey Jay - I can't resist commenting on your "new unit" and you invited
discussion;
"I can be under 5.00 wattSeconds. Is that the new definition ? Less than
5.00 wattSeconds ?"
The watt is a unit of power, or energy expended per second. In the SI
system of units (MKS for those of us who learned Physics prior to 1967
and Metric for those who learned it way before then) it is a Joule per
second. When integrated over time, as you do in your spread spectrum
calculation, you get energy back. So a watt-second is a Joule, abreviated
J, or I suppose for this list, Jay :^).
This is how the performance of pulsed LASERs are specified by the way. It
is prably preferrable to Watts for specifying non continuous dissipation
of energy. CW as we know it is nto continuous, but the repetition rate is
not constant or even periodic so it does not fit neatly into either of
hte pabove category.
When is NorCal coming out with the Spread Spectrum Kit??
