Interference : GPS Transmission

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the interference patterns created by two GPS satellite signals transmitting at 1575.42 MHz. Participants are trying to determine the angles at which the intensity of the signals is equal to 2.00 W/m^2, particularly in the range of 0 < theta < 90 degrees. There is confusion about the calculation of phase differences and how many other angles yield the same intensity, with one participant suggesting that the answer could be 27. However, it is clarified that this number does not account for the reference point and may not be correct. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the phase relationships and the geometry involved in the problem.

In my opinion 27 was the correct answer. I only started looking at other possibilities after you said it was wrong. I wish you would post the correct answer when you find out.
