40d352ee68
Drop 5 antenna sims that were either dead-end topologies or got superseded
by validated v3 designs. The kept set documents the path the project
actually took: edge-fed series-fed row on 0.508 mm RO4350B (drop-in
old-Gerber replacement, 100 MHz BW), with the single-element edge-fed
inset and probe-fed comparators kept as design-space reference points,
and production_beams_verify retained as the D-series audit artifact for
the ADAR1000 setBeamAngle() dead-code finding.
Removed:
Quartz_Waveguide.py
openems_quartz_slotted_wg_10p5GHz.py
Early waveguide explorations, abandoned when the project moved
to a planar patch array.
aperture_coupled_aeris10_v2.py
First openEMS attempt at the AERIS-10 design point. Achieved
60 MHz BW with residual reactance; superseded by the v3 paths
(probe-fed 180 MHz BW, edge-fed-inset 180 MHz BW, edge-fed
series-fed row 100 MHz BW) that landed shortly after.
array_factor_adar1000_aeris10.py
Pure-numpy ADAR1000 phase-quantization sim used to find that
setBeamAngle()'s 4-elem broadcast produces grating lobes and
that the function is dead in production (replaced by
initializeBeamMatrices + setCustomBeamPattern16). Findings
already actioned in commit 38ee73a (D1/D6/D7 tombstone removal)
and recorded in project_aeris10_setBeamAngle_bug_2026-05-04.md.
probe_fed_array_aeris10_v3.py
4×4 probe-fed multi-port openEMS array for mutual-coupling
characterisation. Mooted now that the chosen production path
is the 1×8 edge-fed series-fed row, not a probe-fed array.
Kept:
edge_fed_row_aeris10_v3.py — chosen production design (1×8 row)
edge_fed_row_nf2ff_aeris10_v3.py — far-field for the row
edge_fed_aeris10_v3.py — single-element baseline for the row
probe_fed_aeris10_v3.py — alt-design comparator (180 MHz BW)
production_beams_verify_aeris10.py — D-series audit artifact
Lint: ruff full-repo still clean. No cross-imports between kept and
dropped scripts (verified pre-removal).
