Herman Cortes technology Projects German and I had a long talk yesterday about his work with the focal phase arrays and the other task he's engaged with, designing an extremely broadband feed that is compact and can be fabricated inexpensively. He's been making good progress with both by assigning Eliana to do the initial work with the focal phase array, and he himself has been concentrating on the broadband feed design. ... While still in progress, Eliana's work will surely succeed. ...
