← Language & CommunicationA satellite communication link experiences signal degradation due to atmospheric interference. Which technique best enhances reliable message delivery by directly addressing this issue?
A)Employing higher carrier frequencies
B)Increasing satellite transmitter power
C)Applying forward error correction (FEC)✓
D)Optimizing antenna polarization alignment
💡 Explanation
Forward error correction introduces redundancy that allows the receiver to detect and correct a limited number of errors without retransmission because the error correcting code compensates for lost information from interference; therefore FEC is the most relevant error correction technique rather than simply boosting power or adjusting antenna properties.
