title: Antenna Basics

|

|

When a radio wave hits an antenna, the electrical component of the wave induces a difference of potential in the conductor which gives rise to an electric current. This is called electromotive force. The current induced is normally small, therefore, we usually design antennas to be as efficient as possible.

|

- If there is a power line nearby, run the antenna at a right angle to that wire to decrease interference.
|
||||
- Make the antenna resonant at the frequency you're interested in. You can do this by adjusting the length of the wire, inductance, capacitance.
|
||||
- Design the antenna so that it focuses the energy from the direction you care about, as opposed to listening equally in all directions.
|
||||
- Similarly, raise the antenna higher off the ground so that more of it's beam pattern reaches the horizon.

To compare an entire bitstring, we start from the most significant bit and check to see if one bit is greater than the other. If not, it will then check the next bit while confirming that all the previous bits were the same. For a 3-bit comparator, the logic will look like the following:

## Conclusion
|
||||
A common pattern of writing proofs for me is to use a combination of `hint` and `have` with `library_search`. Especially when you are not an expert in a theorem prover, it's nice to have the system fill in some of the simpler steps. I generally prefer tactics that give you a list of simpler tactics back as opposed to solving the goal in the background without any proof. Regardless, I'm glad that many of these decision procedures exist to help me deal with what can sometimes be the verbosity of theorem proving.

Segmented file transfer allows you to split up a file into multiple chunks and download them in parallel. There is a program written for Linux called LFTP which can accomplish this task and supports FTP, HTTP, SFTP, BitTorrent, among others. The syntax is a little funky, so I wrote a wrapper I call `pget` which allows for segmented file transfers using SCP.
