How is BFO Measured?

Jun stated:
I agree (and also previously stated in less detail) that pre-compensation values could readily be derived from observed Doppler shift in the download signal received from the...

Meaning of BFO Data

Kudos to everyone for finally publishing the Inmarsat "raw data". (BTW - Inmarsat is, of course, bound by its clients' instructions. MAS finally authorized the release of the data.)

Based on a...

Observed ULB Ultrasound Frequency Stability

Not so.

The frequency of sound transmitted by the ULB may be impacted by the water pressure etc. in which the transducer operates. However, for a stationary transmitter-receiver (hydrophone)...

Evaluation of ULB Signals

Given that the ultrasound signal exhibited very significant frequency deviation (about 33 kHz rather than the nominal 37.5 kHz) it is unlikely that the ultrasound signal itself is phase stable. ...

Primary Radar Ignored - Malaysia's Baffling Initial Reaction

Another poster (D.S.) pointed out long ago that Malaysia was aware of the primary radar track on Day 1 - they referred to contact with MH370 having been lost at 2:40 am. This is the time when the...

UK AAIB and Inmarsat Arcs

The published graphs are illogical and clearly misleading on their face.

I prefer to think that UK AAIB can do and is doing rather better than the pretty but grossly misleading graphs of spurious...

Hong Kong Paper Reports Kidnap/Crash Theory

The Chinese-language news item linked below refers to reports by the Hong Kong based Oriental Daily. The gist of that report is that after disabling other communications, Captain Zaharie Shah...

WSJ Story Reconsidered

I believe the original version of the WSJ story was based on the notion that substantive ACARS messages were received from the aircraft (by Boeing, Rolls Royce and perhaps MAS), and that those...

MAS Fined in New Zealand

This was probably mentioned here earlier, but MAS was actually fined by usually mild New Zealand.

According to the report below, MAS deliberately violated an order not to allow a named passenger...

Misc. Thoughts

1. Malaysian politics is turbulent and corrupt, but generally not violent.

2. The trustworthiness of Malaysia's current government is not beyond doubt in light of what has emerged in connection...

Malaysians Knew about Primary Radar on Day 1

D.S. pertinently reminded us that the Malaysian government must have instantly recognized the primary radar track as MH370 since the “last contact” time of 2.40 am initially disclosed by Malaysia...

Over-Reliance on Inmarsat Ping Data? Other Radio Signals?

Reading the Malaysian PM's statement as a whole, the thing that stands out is that it is carefully crafted to address an obvious question about the Malaysian government's handling of the matter:

Diego Garcia Radar Range

For reference - JORN in Australia publicly admits to 1,000 - 3,000 km for their OTHR system. Range would tend to be longer during the night and around dawn, but HF propagation is hard to predict. ...

ADS-B Hard to Jam

Like cell phones, ADS can be disrupted by jamming in interactive mode.

On the other hand, in one-way broadcast mode, ADS-B only transmits without waiting to receive any signals.

It is, of course, all too easy to persuade oneself that one might have thought of X at the time: "hindsight is 20/20".

Radar Data from Neighboring Countries (Civilian & Military)?

There is a strange gap in news coverage relating to primary and "secondary" radar data collected by neighboring countries.

There seem to be three separate issues in connection with ACARS that MAS senior management has been unclear about:

1. Human Messaging through ACARS

When MAS talks about ACARS, they are probably...
