It is interesting to see that PD
thinks that the way to design antennas
is to use Jackson boilerplate "problem sets",
then if that doesn't work,
to use more Jackson boilerplate "problem sets",
before putting it up again,
repeating as necessary until the performance is optimized.
I suggest to PD,
that if he ever has to design an antenna,
to take a look at the following web sites,
before he uses Jackson boilerplate "problem sets".
www.hamuniverse.com/antennas.html
http://www.ve3sqb.com/
http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/projects/esg/research/antenna.htm
http://www.smeter.net/antennas/antennas.php
How do you think those antennas are designed, crackpotter?
I might point out that I was in Radio Interference
for a couple of years, testing cryptographic equipment
for radiated and conducted signals that might
permit the unencrypted information to bypass
the cryptographic computer,
Does crackpotter know how an antenna works? Does crackpotter even
understand what a radiation multipole moment is? Does crackpotter know
the difference between a cylindrical and a plane wave? Does
crackpotter know what a dipole is?
and rather than work a lot of "problem sets", we,
believe it or not,
and bear in mind, that this was a TOP SECRET
project that could affect national security,
we actually ran tests!!!!
I can't tell what is more stupid...
Is it your endless whining about "problem sets" ?
Is it your stupidity in the belief that because you tested some
equipment many years back that it makes you qualified to whine about
antenna theory?
Or is it the stupidity of talking about something you claim was TOP
SECRET on a public medium?
I am very sad to see that I have
Eric Gisse whining about my posts
responding to the ridiculous suggestion that
I should work on some
Jackson boilerplate "problem sets",
and his jealousy of the fact I have
a pretty good background in working with
antennas over the frequency range
from 15KHz to 1GHz.
I might point out to Gisse, that when one measures
electric field strength, one must take
the gain of the antenna into acount, in order to
come up with a useable volts per meter measurement.
And I am surprised to see that Eric Gisse,
who claims to be a high school grad,
is not aware that great strides have been
made in encryption since the advent
of the microprocessor,
and that all of the old cryptographic
equipment could be beaten using
a Commodore 64.
I suggest that if Eric Gisse
wants to understand more about
encryption, he should do a search on
( "public encryption" key ),
I must point out,
that although encryption has made great advances,
one must still protect against the leakage
of the un-encrypted message via radiation.
and conduction through the power lines.
