Side Lobes?
Hmm. The thing about radio transmission (microwave, etc) is that Tx antenna/horns produce side lobes of energy out from the side of the main directed 'beam.'
There's a term in microwave (directed energy) weapons development called "Fratricide." This is where those side lobes fry your nearby brothers(and sisters)-in-arms and damage electronic systems.
Careful tuning of the Tx aperture/antenna can reduce this lobing, but never completely remove it.
Just wondering how all that other expensive SpaceTech will deal with the extra interference from these, <cough!> "Totally Peaceful" Power Systems?
