Maybe this is a naive question, but how does an antenna, fractal or
otherwise, know what kind of transmitter is driving it? Why are software radios more suited to this design? vy 73 Andy, M1EBV True frequency and waveform agility is the goal in SDR . Wideband, or controlled multiband, is needed. Ham requirements are well met at present with a variety of antenna designs that are nearly periodic in a fairly narrow frequency coverage, a fairly easy problem to solve. 73, Chip N1iR |

Equine Excrement is a tad difficult for some gardening. IT has lots of plant material that needs a good bit of time to compost correctly. Mushroom growers love it, tho'. - Mike KB3EIA - |

It's absolutely indispensable to cowboys and politicians. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

A consortium to investigate fractal electrodynamics theory (FET) has a
webpage at this URL. http://www.tsc.upc.es/fractalcoms/ From the site: "There is [a] potential limitation of fractal microwave devices that must be investigated: the loss efficiency. It has been shown that in fractal geometries electromagnetic fields and currents concentrate into very small regions. Since the power loss due to Joule effect is proportional to the square of the electric current density integrated along the device surface, current concentration in small areas produce much larger power losses than more uniform current distributions. This effect may result in antennas having much lower gain... " The articles and links are very interesting. |
