Both MultiFAX demodulators sample the NOAA polar orbiting satellite signals 4800 times per second. This means that each sample, or pixel, is approximately 1.5 miles wide. The NOAA satellites can provide two to three mile resolution in the center of the imagethis means that the MultiFAX system captures ALL of the detail that the NOAA satellites can provide. This is important–many systems available today do not sample the image data often enough to provide full resolution.
