           | Person I replied to clicked the PDF button on the freely-

             | I think I remember IEEE making everything available a few
             | years ago...there's probably an HN discussion if it
             | happened (but it might have been ACM (or both)). If so,
             | this would be an ordinary dark pattern of extracting
             | payment where it is not absolutely necessary.
             | 
             | Anyway, I googled the title based on my possibly accurate
             | memory.
             | 
             | In fairness my impression is that very few HN members 'give
             | back' by joining such organizations. It's not part of
             | today's startup mindset.

               | really annoying, I'm a member of a couple IEEE societies
               | and find that I have to use my institutional login (GA
               | Tech in my case) to reliably get access to their
               | publications. With ACM, I join a SIG and I pretty much
               | get the entirety of the SIG's digital library (even
               | before the bigger open access push).

         | No, that has nothing to do with OFDM.

       | Orthogonality is a beautiful concept.
       | 
       | In physics, different frequencies don't interfere with each other
       | --they're always independent. However, in digital operations and
       | mathematics, this isn't automatically true, so we need to
       | carefully select the right frequencies.
       | 
       | OFDM leverages this by ensuring that, in the frequency domain,
       | certain frequencies remain completely separate, meaning changes
       | to one frequency (in amplitude or phase) won't affect the others.
       | 
       | This allows us to capture the maximum information with limited
       | samples.

         | 
         | Are you overlooking harmonics? Are you overlooking the same
         | frequency case of noise cancellation, via phase shift?

           | Phase shift isn't different frequencies?
