Scaling the SETI Horn of Plenty (Hydrogen Line Horn Antenna)
Hi Andy, You recently asked a question on the SARA forum “I notice that the SETI Horn of Plenty is a smaller version of the original Ewen Horn that first…

Is there push button block in GNU Radio Companion? Yep — there is 👍 In GNU Radio (QT GUI) you’ve got a couple of button-style options, depending on what behavior…
Same frequency, physically bigger horn — not frequency scaling.This is where horns stop being “just scaled” and start being designed. Short answer first:You increase the aperture size, but you do…
Short answer: it scales linearly with wavelength.Longer answer (the bit you actually care about 🙂): For a hydrogen-line horn (≈1420 MHz, λ ≈ 21 cm), the flare geometry is set…
Following is result of asking ChatGPT the above question 27/1/2026!!!! Here’s a source that actually describes the original SETI Horn of Plenty antenna design and its dimensions: 🔗 SETI League…
These are both relatively long integration times on the Intel i5 MiniPC used for this experiment. The numbers are not equivalent – in both cases I attempted to obtain an…

Short answer: it increases by a factor of 4. Here’s why (under the usual physics assumptions): So if the object shrinks to half it’s size: To keep constant: Angular momentum…
