Our results appear to be significantly different. 73, Frank- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hi Frank, I am not proficient with NEC2 so I can't help you with that. I will add certain things in the hope things clear up for you. Elements are 1.3 inches diameter and tapered. The element listing is of one half of the array with the otherside being a mirror image, all dimensions are in inches. The last element listed was center fed. Design was weighted for max gain then F/B then for resistance feed. Gain was set for horizontal polarisation. Normaly a Gaussian array has every dimension listed as being variable but I decided for simplicity to only vary the individual height of each element plus keeping them parallel and not tilted so as to avoid confusion.Some designs come out with some elements off center as well as not 1/2 wave based as well as irregular shaped which would confuse those who are not fully familiar with antenna theory. It is usual to declare the polarity required instead of maximum gain so that polarity purity can be pursued however, in such cases all dimensions should be considered variable. If maximum bandwidth is required it is also best to have all dimensions variable.If all dimensions are variable you get the situation where all elements are resonant and such designs are compatable with complex circuitry calculations. Note that the salient curves with respect to bandwidth are in sync with each other because of the absence of coupling and minimum reactance of individual parts which prevents focussing as with a Yagi array. Can't think of anything else I can add but don't hesitate with any follow up questions if you have any either with the basic theory, concepts, mathematics or the sample at hand. Good luck Art you have one fed element and several un-fed ones... isn't that a parasitic array? what are the currents in the other elements? how do those currents come into being besides coupling between the elements?? How can you use NEC to calculate 'gaussian' arrays that are in 'equilibrium' by your definition, NEC assumes currents and coupling between the elements, there is no way to change that... its part of the basic EM formulas that all antenna modeling programs are based on! |

Have a happy day Art KB9MZ......XG i have a long run of pointing out junk science. and yours is some of the junkiest. you insist on using NEC to calculate 'equilibrium', not understanding that NEC uses exactly the maxwell equations that you don't believe in. and you throw about modified equations without any way of proving they are correct. and you have this concept of a fictional surface where a magic transformation takes place with no way to define or defend it. So far the only thing you have proven is that allowing optimizers to run on randomly placed elements can result in gain. And you have shown that if you let it go far enough without logical constraints you get unrealizable configurations. Unfortunately a patent doesn't prove anything in this country besides the fact that no one else has described exactly the same thing, at least as far as an examiner can tell. |

Have a happy day Art KB9MZ......XG snip .. you insist on using NEC to calculate 'equilibrium', not understanding that NEC uses exactly the maxwell equations that you don't believe in. Now you are making things up, I have not said that I don't believe in Maxwells equations and you throw about modified equations without any way of proving they are correct. And an independent person from M.I.T. a Doctor no less confirmed my analysis as being consistent with Maxwells laws and went to great lengths in supplying the mathematical route. and you have this concept of a fictional surface The arbitary border of a Gaussian field is generally stated as being frictionless since it is a arbitary boundary that surrounds a mass in equilibrium.Contrary to your statement equilibrium does not necessarily mean coupling it means a balanced existence in a gravitational field ( my words). Coupling means an mutual existence inside a common field. where the tranfer of energy occurres inside that common field. In which case an equation cannot be made for a given space of time since the exchange of energy continues to take place after the application of energy has ceased. where a magic transformation takes place with no way to define or defend it. It is no magic transformation if one adds time to a conservative field such that it becomes a non conservative field. If one wants reality the unit of time must be present for a fantasy conservative field made of static particles becomes a non conservative field with reality. So far the only thing you have proven is that allowing optimizers to run on randomly placed elements can result in gain. The optimizer is based on proven Maxwellian laws not a figment of imagination. It shows that laws were in existence before Maxwell that were established by other people whose thoughts interlocked with other thoughts and data. Pointings vector is one of these which shows all the same characteristics of my concepts that you disdain in your last posting. Thus contrary to dismissing Maxwell I am confirming the laws by an independent avenue. And you have shown that if you let it go far enough without logical constraints you get unrealizable configurations. I suppose that is posible to occur but it wasn't I that provided the porported demonstration. The whole basis of the concept is equilibrium and if a computor program fails to conform with that position I would blame the human content of the program and not nature. Unfortunately a patent doesn't prove anything in this country besides the fact that no one else has described exactly the same thing, at least as far as an examiner can tell. Very true, which in itself is not all that bad and Congress has not abandoned that institution for good reason. When a request is printed it invites experts in radiation, such as you, to submit reasons as to why it should not be granted. Why not give it a try, but use of the word "can't" alone will not be seen as satisfactory. The institution is for those who use the word of " can" which you seem to take delight in deriding which in itself cannot prevent changes or prevent the advance of science. Why not do something really constructive and help Frank with his program? For the life of me I do not understand why those familiar with NEC in this group aren't helping the guy. Is he persona non grata or are all taking a delight in seeing him struggle. If the NEC program determines something different to what I supplied then the debate would be settled and the truth will come out. Why would a group of antenna experts not give assistance to a fellow ham in need? Is there something that you abhor when a thread is stopped in its tracks without reaching the 400 postings mark? Is the exchange of insults the overiding factor in this group? ( I know the answer to that!) Art Unwin KB9MZ.......XG Bloomington IL |

Hi Art, He doesn't need help with NEC, obviously. After four or five rounds of correspondence he eked out the necessary details to test a claim, and found it was unconfirmable. If he needs any help, it is getting a complete description (hence, why it took him four or five rounds of filling in gaps in the first place). If he now has the complete description (something you NEVER acknowledge), then the analysis is complete. Given both your software and his (and ours) all use the same calculating engine, then it remains a challenge as to how you arrive at your results. When you toss in statements like resonance achieved with significant reactance, or elements that resonate at a third of their wavelength dimension, one has to wonder even more about your fundamental failures of first principles. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

So what is the big deal about them? and why try to patent something that has nothing new to it??? |
