Talk:Evolved antenna

Untitled
NASA reference link at the bottom has moved http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/tech/asr/aces/


 * Tried to find a correct link to the paper. Closest thing I found is An Evolved Antenna for Deployment on NASA's Space Technology 5 Mission (indexed at ) which has a slightly different title than the GPTP site has but is the only plausible match for 2004. Can anyone confirm whether this is the right paper? — Unbitwise (talk) 20:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Evolved antenna in a cartoon in the 70s or 80s
An office type silently takes a clip and bends it. It produces a very similar form for a gadget, and antenna. Laugh is expected to burst at that moment in criticism of technology. Several antenna gags were also common in those years, around the same paradigm: weird and comical form of antennas producing better/weird/super results. This points to two possibilities: 1) optimum form antennas were analyzed mathematically and were already known; 2) when trying the problem the Human brain will very naturally reach this form. So there is some doubt this example is the best one for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.30.56.204 (talk) 15:10, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
