What is an uncorrelated signal?
Two signals which have no covariance are called uncorrelated (the correlation is the covariance normalized to lie between -1 and 1). In general, for two uncorrelated signals, the power of the sum is the sum of the powers: Put in terms of amplitude, this becomes: This is the familiar Pythagorean relation.
What are required to avoid frequency overlapping?
In order to avoid this, a receiver with directional antenna is used, which can then be aligned in such a way that it will only receive the signal of one transmitter. Alternatively, the signals could be separated using a demodulator in single sideband mode.
