← TechnologyConsidering Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) in satellite communication, which risk increases when guard times between signals become insufficient?
A)Increased intersymbol interference errors✓
B)Reduced carrier frequency stability
C)Elevated atmospheric attenuation losses
D)Amplified thermal noise contribution
💡 Explanation
Insufficient guard times lead to signal overlap due to channel dispersion; this causes intersymbol interference because the received signal contains energy from adjacent time slots, therefore corrupting data rather than allowing clean separation, and other effects remain negligible.
