THE UTILIZATION OF X-RADIATION AS A COMMUNICATIONS MEDIUM IN OUTER SPACE
Abstract
An attempt is made to set forth certain conditions for the optimum utilization of x-radiation as a means of communication in outer space. The broad areas of consideration include: (1) the question of proper selection of x-ray energy in relation to the expected background radiation in outer space, (2) means of generation of the x-radiation, (3) means for its detection, and (4) the conditions for modulation and demodulation which would permit the most rapid and reliable transmission of information.
