Default FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Richard,

Who, in your estimation, does qualify to discuss it?


I would like to hear from someone who has actually measured the
linearity of a simple antenna. I have not done this, so would only be
one guy with an opinion. Plenty of us around.

By 'simple antenna' I mean an antenna such as a wire dipole without
traps, baluns or other things that could degrade linearity. Since the
linearity of antenna systems in general is in question, the simplest
setup that answers the question would be best.

In the absence of measurement, can anyone comment on the modelling
software? Does it assume and model a linear system? If so, do we know
of any substantial nonlinear departures from the modelling software?

Anyone?
