- There is interesting article by Martin Cooper in July 2003 issue of Scientific American pages 49 to 55. He is talking about Smart and Adaptive antennas. This basically is aimed at cell phones but who

- Seems like an EIRP scheme would take away incentive to make ones antenna better. Why put up a 4-square to get 5dB of extra TX gain, when you would have to derate your transmitter power by that same a

- Or, one could run a 10 kW "active antenna tuner", on each of the 10 elements in the array. While the current regulatory model lets me have 1500 joules/second, I can't exactly distribute them as I see
