the standard antenna's on the web site, have a weight that span from 1 oz

1/2 the linear dimension = 1/8 volume if Enron's finances were this
rudimentary, they would still be in business!

Hey consider this,

an antenna with 1/4 the aspect ratio (effective front viewed area) also has
a 1/4 chance of being hit by a defined shrapnel density specified in
military antenna requirements. AS FWT ARE smaller, they also posses a lower
probability of damage from gunfire for a given field.


CTO,

1 to 4 Oz at what scale and to what comparison? More ENRON marketing
factoids. ENRON has no product offered and I notice you have no page
of products offered either.

Would you like to comment on how much flak your virtual designs have
avoided here? It would seem you have the boy scout's electronics
dictionary handy to draw terms from indiscriminately to scatter
through these non-responsive marketing postings you are making (from
your home computer? :-)

Sales must be extremely tenuous for you to have to find ego-salve in
an amateur group. Let's see, a slow server, a .net domain name,
posting business news from a private account, no products, but a lot
of power-point presentations and you have trouble with the fundamental
questions. All of this adds up to a vanity web site.

Let's look at another factoid published:
Marc Popek, CTO of Focused Wave Technology Group,
moved to Las Vegas over sixteen years ago.
He is a successful entrepreneur and American inventor,
holding over 12 patents in a wide swath of technologies;
including laser control, exotic signal processing,
intelligent controls, wireless communications and antennas.

Through a search of the PTO against the name Popek we find:
Results of Search in 1976 to present db for:
IN/Popek: 27 patents

9 Popek; Marc H. (Las Vegas, NV)
Apparatus and method for automatic climate control- filed 1994
Phased array acoustic signal processor - filed 1988
Impulse waveform drive apparatus for surface acoustic wave chirp
system - filed 1988
Process for fabricating a sculptured stripling interface conductor

Electro-optical phase modulator - filed 1988

Driver unit for a laser Q-switch - filed 1985
Linear gain voltage controlled oscillator with modulation
compensation - filed 1983
Frequency modulation system for a frequency synthesizer
- filed 1984
7 Popek; Bruce P. (South Windsor, CT)
3 Popek; Witold J. (716 S. Milwaukee Ave., Wheeling, IL 60090)
2 Karen Popek (Poughquag, NY)
2 Popek; Joseph C. (Detroit, MI)
2 Popek; Gerald J. (Los Angeles, CA)
2 Popek; Stephen (Warren, OH)

How does this compare with:
holding over 12 patents in a wide swath of technologies;
12? I count 9. Wide technologies? The majority during the late 80's
were assigned to Harris, earlier work to Motorola. The titles above
reveal those were typically confined to one very specialized segment.

including laser control, exotic signal processing,
intelligent controls, wireless communications and antennas.
The only antennas patented, by Bruce, not Mark, were for toys.
Intelligent controls? HVAC comes to mind for work 10 years ago.
Laser control and signal processing are not simple topics, but neither
are they applicable to antennas barring unique invention - notably
absent from the list above.

Is this talent fungible to antennas commonly courted in this group?
Could be, but there is clearly an absence in experience to the matter
insofar as the grandiose credentials suggest.

The fact of the matter is that the material presented at:
http://www.fwt.niat.net/
is not much more than antenna engineering samples drawn from classroom
introductory lab work at the local University.
