Calculate A Two-Dimensional Primitive Root Diffuser

This document provides instructions for calculating a two-dimensional primitive root diffuser based on user input of design frequencies and size parameters. It explains that the size is based on a prime number P with two coprime factors for the number of rows and columns. The script then calculates and displays the well heights in centimeters for the diffuser design.

Calculate a Two-Dimensional Primitive Root Diffuser

[ Calculator | Examples | Gallery | FAQ | Links | Disclaimer & Contact ]

This script is an example implementation of the method suggested in US patent #5401921 (March
28, 1995) to calculate a two-dimensional primitive root diffuser. Enter your design frequencies at
which the diffuser shall operate, and a desired size of the diffuser, based on a prime number P and a
primitive root number of P. Note, that P-1 must have two coprime factors which are non-devisible
into each other. For example, for P = 157, P-1 has the prime factors 2, 2, 3 and 13. A grid of for
example 2*2*3=12 x 13 wells can then be applied (with the two coprime factors being 12 and 13).
A "well" is defined as one building block and its height refers to the actual height of the block.

There is a new FAQ section.
I added some more pictures to the gallery. Keep sending those beauties folks! This script is used
more often than my music is bought ;p
