Subject: Constraints on PUEO evolved antennas  

Variables of Evolved Antennas

Wall variables:
S -- length of bottom of the walls
m -- slope of the walls (currently set to 1)
H -- height of walls
x0, y0, z0 -- 3D coordinates of the bottom of the ridge
xf, yf, zf -- 3D coordinates of the top of the ridge
Beta -- curvature of the ridge

 

Antenna Walls

S is half the side length of the bottom wall
m is the slope of the outer wall
H is the max height of the outer wall

Current Constraints:

S < 50cm
H < 50cm
m = 1

Antenna Ridges

x_0, y_0, z_0 are the innitial points of the inner most part of the ridge
x_f, y_f, z_f are the final points of the inner most part of the ridge
tau is the parametric time range beta is the slope of the curve of the ridge

Current Constraints:

tau = 0.26
x_f = S
0 < x_0 <= x_f
0 < y_0 <= x_0
0 < y_f < z_f
z_0 = 0
0 < z_f <= H
(4/30) * z_f < beta < 7 * z_f (for z_f in meters, designs will 'compile' in xfdtd above this upper limit, but the curve is functionally a line for all values greater)
