Just the revival of my unit, where finally I'll be able to measure several important things — starting from the most basic of them, like the difference between vertical adjacent polar patterns. And much more. It will be a fun time. In about a month, when I receive our own processing in Chile, I'll prepare some drawings for Aly to create a replica, so you can test first results in 2D. Way cool.
These diaries show most of all the hard work to fix my 8 × 4" unit.
Inside the unit — the first step of the repair.
Second step. Soldering, alignment, careful hands.
Third step. Cleaner, coherent again.
Ready to go. Just waiting for my friend who owns the Marani 8-FIR unit — and for some good weather.
Meanwhile, I advance on our brand-new 2D tool.— the ritual of waiting
Meanwhile I'm advancing on our brand-new 2D tool, to be able to create a 2D polar pattern immediately after getting my 37 measurements per pattern (0°, 5°, 10°, …, 180°). Well — to see beam steering in action we will also measure 72 impulses, up to 360°.
See you very soon with more.
