The original ancestor of this document was by Chin Fang <fangchin@leland.stanford.edu>.
Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> reworked, reorganized, and massively rewrote Chin Fang's original in an attempt to understand it. In the process, he merged in most of a different how-to by Bob Crosson <crosson@cam.nist.gov>.
The material on interlaced modes is largely by David Kastrup <dak@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>
Martin Lottermoser <Martin.Lottermoser@mch.sni.de> contributed
the idea of using gnuplot to make mode diagrams and did the
mathematical analysis behind modeplot
. The distributed
modeplot
was redesigned and generalized by ESR from
Martin's original gnuplot code for one case.
