Default Antenna gain question

It's not clear what aspect of your sources is "Rnd", but the fact that
they are monochromatic is still problematic.


Hi Jim,

You lost me on that curve. Monochromatic. The sources exhibit an
even distribution of varying phase in a random order. That was
tedious to accomplish, but achievable - in a group of 360 possible
degrees of phase, you eventually cover the field. On the other hand,
if you are suggesting that there needs to be an equally random
distribution of frequencies then that has its obvious issues of
practicability. What is the lowest frequency and what is the highest
frequency? That question has all the hallmarks of which infinity is
the biggest?

Anyway, I would surmise that if I could achieve both random phase and
frequency distribution, then the difference between a simple dipole's
response and that of a yagi antenna would be trivial. This would be a
given seeing that the parasitic elements would be virtually invisible,
rendering the "driven" element un-differentiable from the simple
dipole.
