Abstract :
We designed an antenna model of the spherically distributed receptors of the HIV. The model consisted of a combination of electric Hertzian dipole and magnetic dipole antennas. We derived field equations for a 72-element spherical array of electric dipoles, and field equations for a 72-element array of magnetic dipoles. We combined these equations using superposition to model the virus receptors as receiving antennas. The resulting power pattern showed definite maximums at 80- and 280-degree positions, suggesting the virus acted as a radar when scanning for objects such as foreign cells. This work extended results of treating the AIDS virus as an antenna.
