In satellite communication, which effect MOST limits usable bandwidth?

💡 Explanation

Chromatic dispersion broadens optical pulses in fiber optic links because different wavelengths travel at slightly different speeds, therefore limiting maximum data rates, rather than atmospheric effects or antenna properties, influencing bandwidth to a lesser extent.
