By 'simple antenna' I mean an antenna such as a wire dipole without

Seems the easiest measurement of nonlinearity would be the
harmonics (if any) generated by the antenna that do not
appear in the source signal.

Which wouldn't tell you a single thing about the current
distribution along the length of the dipole.
