Does anyone have a good physical intuitive explanation for why laser and radar data bandwidth to space are such huge pipes?
I have always been amazed at how satellites quote bandwidths on the order of Tb/s, when I don't fundamentally see how they're so different from gigabit fiber, copper, etc. You've still got some oscillation going on and a receiver that has to "decode" it just the same.
Is there a physically intuitive way to understand why the bandwidth of these methods is so great?
