30 July 2016

Dear Professor Moghaddam, Editor, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine,

I have a suggestion for a way out of this mess.

I suggest we forget about the original article "Catt's Anomaly",

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x54c.pdf forget about my reply "Conflation"

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x59b1.htm and forget the P&S comment on "Conflation".

Instead you invite me to write an article to be edited only by you, not going through the IEEE "Steeplechase", but direct from me to you by email attachment.

The article will outline "The Catt Question", "The Second Catt Question" and "The Third Catt Question".

That would constitute an article of historic significance. None of the other two Questions has been mentioned in any peer reviewed or non-peer reviewed journal.

First Catt Question. Give the www address for its animation. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm

Traditionally. when a TEM step (i.e. logic transition from low to high) travels in a transmission line through a vacuum from left to right, guided by two conductors (the signal line and the 0v line), there are four factors which make up the wave;

- electric current in the conductors i
- magnetic field, or flux, surrounding the conductors B
- electric charge on the surface of the conductors +q , -q
- electric field, or flux, in the vacuum terminating on the charge (Figure 2), D

The key to grasping the question is to concentrate on the electric charge -q on the bottom conductor. The step advances one foot per nanosecond. Extra negative charge appears on the surface of the bottom conductor to terminate the new lines (tubes) of electric flux D(figure 2) which appear between the top (signal) conductor and the bottom conductor.

Since 1982 the question has been: Where does this new charge come from?

The Second Catt Question. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x22j.pdf . Does the Displacement Current in the front face of a TEM step in a transmission line cause a magnetic field?

The Third Catt Question. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x3761.pdf . Is the field in a charged capacitor stationary? Give the www address of "The Wakefield Experiment". http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x343.pdf

Pear Professor Pelosi,

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x54c.pdf

Pieracchini and Selleri confused

1 the contradictory versions of Classical Electromagnetism with

2 Catt theories.

I note that you are Full Professor of Electromagnetic Fields.

I quote you again; ""I have asked Massimiliano Pieracchini and Stefano Selleri .... .... if they would further investigate this "anomaly" [The Catt Question]." http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm

You are an IEEE editor, also Full Professor of Electromagnetic fields, and have published on what is misnamed "Catt's Anomaly".

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/icp.jsp?arnumber=6387834

However, your own position is unclear.

I have the following question for you.

1 Do Pepper and McEwan contradict each other?

Dear Mahta Moghaddam, Editor, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine,

I suggest the way out of this mess is for you to invite me to write a paper on electromagnetic theory.

Yours sincerely,

Having had no reply, I now look forward to your reply to a single question;

Does “Catt’s Anomaly” point to a fatal flaw in classical theory, or does it not, or are you not sure?

My co-authors Malcolm Davidson, David Walton and my colleague Forrest Bishop all predict you will not reply. Also, Chris Penfold predicts that you will not reply. See below.

Would refusal to reply to an elementary question about the electromagnetic field by a Full Professor of the Electromagnetic Field and IEEE Editor be damaging to him or to the IEEE?

Is the IEEE part of "academia and structured research"?

Massimiliano Pieraccini, author of the novel “L’Anomalia [di Catt]”, pub. Rizzoli 2011, did not reply to my email.

We have been here before. The Glitch

Chris Penfold.

Chris was Series Script Editor for “Midsomer Murders”, which continues. It is the top £ earner for British TV. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0671804/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsomer_Murders

“Midsomer Murders has been sold to a large number of countries and territories around the world. In 2004, it was among the three most-sold British TV shows worldwide, whether as TV Programming or DVD.”

After trying to get “The Glitch” into the media for some decades, Chris had it as one production in “Midsomer Murders”. He tells me that the latest development in electromagnetic theory involving the three Italians makes it very good for a TV documentary, which is his speciality.

“We have been here before.”

“Electromagnetic Theory” can be expected to continue to follow the pattern paved by “The Glitch”, which the late Professor Kinniment wrote a book about.

http://www.async.org.uk/David.Kinniment/DJKinniment-He-Who-Hesitates-is-Lost.pdf

In his book, Kinniment discusses the major problems in the £1 million Manchester University computer project and elsewhere resulting from the suppression by journals like the IEEE of “The Glitch”. He discusses Catt’s major role in the matter.

Professor Alex Yakovlev says Kinniment was his mentor. I told Alex that I got past the IEEE peer reviewers (and nobody else did) by giving my article a misleading title. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/97sglit5.htm

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x1bn.pdf

Because his mentor built me up in his book, Alex invited me to lecture for four hours in his university. http://async.org.uk/IvorCatt-edited.html . My co-author Dr. David Walton http://www.ivorcatt.org/digital-hardware-design.htm and I lectured, not on The Glitch, but on Electromagnetic theory, including what the Italian IEEE authors misname “Catt’s Anomaly”.

Wrong. Today I find my 1996 book, page 3, says; “The Question” ; “CATT’S ANMALY”. So this name predates the Italians by 15 years, but was dropped. – Ivor Catt, 31 August 2016

http://www.ivorcatt.org/icrns86jun_0001.htm “According to who you speak to in the semiconductor industry, Catt is either a crank or a visionary.”

IEEE Article by the Italians.

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x54c.pdf

“an engineer and amateur scientist”

” Catt tried to develop his own electromagnetic theory”

“The academic world did not take Catt seriously much.”

I have checked with a number of people, and they all agree these remarks are derisive.

Obviously Pieraccini and Selleri made a long study of Catt’s work, but they missed the key items, including his IEEE papers. They did however say “Catt Spiral” won the “Product of the Year Award”.

Of particular interest is my 20pp “Crosstalk” paper, which discusses my discovery of the two modes, Even and Odd, and two velocities. I suspect the two modes were already known by the microwave community, but they probably still today, 50 years later, do not know about the two velocities. http://www.ivorcatt.org/digihwdesignp57.htm
