Been mess'n with webcam. On the simultaneous transmissions of hundreds/thousands of cell phones....imagine a single freguency being transmitted. The freq. is continuous but it is pulses, for example like digital logic(binary)code. These code pulses are in continual small groups. I will try and use the keyboard here for a overly simple example showing groups first. The little dots are MY spacing only signifying an unending stream of data. The "groups" are letters.
...[ A ]...[ B ]...[ C ]...[ D ]...[etc]...
Now within these groups like A, B, etc. Is many more pulses.
The phone company breaks up a conversation from #1 caller into pulses for transmittal. They can take ONE single pulse from Caller #1 put it into group A and take ONE single pulse from Caller #2 & put it in group A AFTER #1's pulse. They can do this for many callers. When Group A is filled they can start putting in the first pulses of other callers into group B and so on. This happens extremely fast!. When original caller #1 adds another sound by talking, that pulse gets put in the next available group, and so on with all callers. The phone companies electronics keeps track of which pulses went where from the different callers speech. Their equipment (the phone receivers & transmitters) are kept in step by special pulses so that the individual pulses come out the way the went in and are re-assembled back again into speech for each listener on the phone. This is a terrible example I know. But what I am trying to say is that many, many people can talk on the same frequency so-to-speak at the same time because speech is broken up into little bits and kept track of by electronics. Same as fibre optic communication cables, transoceanic phone cables under the sea, and satellites too. Digitizing like this is going on in your CCD. Don't try to listen to it. :-) My apologies to the electronics persons here who like accuracy. This is only a ROUGH example. The speed of the digitized transmisson is so fast your entire voice frequency can be taken apart, transmitted, and reassembled before you can finish the ending sound of any word. It operates nearly instantaneously
a laser can be aimed at your window and the sound of voices in your house can be decoded into speech by the minute vibration of the glass effecting the reflected laser light back to a surveilance vehicle or tracking station. -LarryS
