He would specifically explain what he was doing. Reminds me of someone else who liked to start talks with: "I am using the old trick of putting up the conclusions first."> Unfortunately, one of my radar systems books has a 2-d ambiguity plot on > the cover.

Where in our DNA is the code for five fingers? Much of biological development is solutions to differential equations, so it shouldn't be too surprising that body shapes are similar to those solutions. -- glen

I clicked on that link and it showed a green package with a 2-dimensional radar cross-ambiguity function plot on the cover. I wonder what "ULTRA THIN" means. Does that have something to do with frequency resolution? Thanks, [-Rick-]
