In the unusual field defined in my example, the algebraic sum of all

antenna than a high gain antenna. Think of the front to back ratio of
the high gain antenna which would result in very little output from
the rays behind and on the sides of the antenna. Therefore, the
isotropic would have a higher output which is indicative of higher gain.


Is this to rewrite the principle of reciprocity?
