Model predicts a minimum in cancellation level via phase-aware vector sums

Evidence

The vector diagram shows the importance of a vector summation that leads to a very small residual vector, while summing the magnitudes of the vectors of the wavelets and neglecting their phase would lead, incorrectly, to a relatively large magnitude. The vector summation of the wavelets leads, as seen in Fig. 14.1, to a situation that would correspond to a minimum in the dependence of the (2JI - h)-cancellation level as a function of the primary level. — Professor Dr.-Ing.
