I've been building in XF and have ran into some issues but currently have the following completed:
- Struts are placed, though they are not evenly spaced and the same. I have contacted XF to try and figure out how to get rotation/patterns to
do what we need |

# AraSim CSE Spring 2024 Work
## Goals
The main goal was to get a working multithreaded version of the AraSim codebase working. Doing this, the hope was to learn how to multithread the |

We are almost to where we can start the physical building of the antenna!
I've attached all the information I currently have regarding the building project. Some of it is messy work notes and some is well-structured.
I’ve attached the following files for the GENETIS building project: |

Input File Format for pueoSim (Also ICEMC)
Frequency Range: From 200 MHz to 1500 MHz incrementing by 10 MHz steps
There are 8 different files that are required for pueoSim. They are: |

Fri Feb 10 15:55:53 2023, Jack Tillman, Building - Matching Circuit PCB
|
I've completed laying out the PCB for the 14-rung matching circuit. Attached are png files of two PCB designs. One uses LPS5050 inductors while the
other uses LPS6235 inductors. The dimensions shown are in millimeters. |

Mon Feb 13 14:56:57 2023, Jack Tillman, Building - Physics Plots for 9_50, 13_84, 18_89, 19_96, 29_87 Antennae
|
Physics plots were created for 300K events from the higher statistic simulation results for the 9_50, 13_84, 18_89, 19_96, and 29_87 antennae.
The simulation was inaccurate because a discrepancy exists between the higher simulation physics plots and the physics plots created for the
300K event results currently in the GENETIS Loop. This can be seen in the attached pdf file. |

Attached is a pdf of physics plots generated for the 9_50, 13_84, 18_89, 19_96, and 29_87 crazy sides individuals along with another containing information
on the amount of triggered events and effective volumes for each individual. The crazy sides individuals were simulated for 3 million events using
the same Arasim version as is currently in the loop. |

After discretizing and straightening the sides of the curved antenna that performed the best (Generation 13, individual 84) and running the antenna through
AraSim, the following results and physics plots were generated. |

Attached are images of the matching circuit schematic and PCB design. A parts list is also attached in .pdf and .csv format. The .csv format can be imported
into Digikey if necessary.
