wrote: The effects on equipment of repetitive cycles of incident electric field strength with alternating polarity, constant period and equal rise and fall times (AKA a sine wave), whether continuous or 'pulsed', are different from the effects of an incident pulse of electric field strength with a short rise time that is not broken up into harmonic cycles. The latter can induce a high voltage pulse that is wideband in the same manner as the result of a lightning strike, and this can propagate through an installation causing damage. The former cannot do that. Of course, I appreciate the difference is the spectral width of the incident 'signal'. Hi Chris, You are mixing frequency domain with time domain descriptions. Example repeated from above: a short rise time that is not broken up into harmonic cycles. "A short rise time" is made up of an increasingly dense spectrum of harmonic cycles. It cannot be otherwise. The example you gave was of the former type, radiation from a microwave oven, whereas I had written about the latter type. You are now mixing modulation into the time domain to argue against a frequency domain solution. Modulation, if anything, adds even more spectral (harmonic cycle) products. Besides, I offered you simply reduce the number of modulation cycles, by their count, to reduce the effect to that of one cycle (of modulation). A pulse is a modulation of one cycle (however poorly shaped it may be, and it envelopes a pluarity of SHF cycles). An open microwave oven may well cook a human but it won't have much effect on a power cable feeding a computer other than, perhaps, melting the insulation! A wideband pulse of electric field of sufficicient strength will damage the computer. But, evidently, you disagree ... No, not evident at all. Any "effect" is more a function of amplitude than a failure to warm insulation: On Tue, 6 Oct 2009 10:43:10 +0100, "christofire" wrote: but how much damage is a pulse of 10 GHz RF going to do? "How much damage" speaks specifically to that function of amplitude, not pulse shape, not rise time, fall time, or the rest; and as you are explicit in giving a specific frequency.... The microwave oven example suitably answers this. A RADAR example does even better (and still the results, save for amplitude, are the same). 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Even though I know you're having some fun here Richard, your division by pulse assumes that the effects are linear. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

However, for some members who contribute to this group insofar as postings about ejected particels and Luxembourg effect, non-linearities may abound. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Is my theory about RF energy being little turds that fly off an antenna in agreement or disagreement with those particels? I'll refresh everyone if they didn't hear it before. RF energy consists of little packets of waste material, like little turds, that get ejected from an antenna (as the last link in the chain as new material flows into the antenna. This is obvious as a characteristic of conservation of mass as well as general digestion. These little turds leave the antenna with great velocity. While flying through the air, they are naturally attracted to other antennas (derived from holistic like treats like principles) and are therefore received on other radios. The result and characteristics of this process are that unless transmissions match reception, which is almost impossible, the little turds accumulate on our antennas, and over time result in crappy performance. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

Yes, particels and these specimens are in fact derived from the same source. I'll refresh everyone if they didn't hear it before.

This is obvious as a characteristic of conservation of mass as well as general digestion. One must expand on this to include impedance matching ointments such as Preparation H (and the lowering of transmission line restriction losses with Ex-Lax). Can it be said that diamagnetism is like a greasy lube job for propagation? These little turds leave the antenna with great velocity. While flying through the air, they are naturally attracted to other antennas (derived from holistic like treats like principles) and are therefore received on other radios. If they are to be circularly polarized, they will need a corriolis evacuation. The result and characteristics of this process are that unless transmissions match reception, which is almost impossible, the little turds accumulate on our antennas, and over time result in crappy performance. It must be true - evidence AM talk shows. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
