Cecil,
I am questioning the bundling of radiation with respect to
Poyntings vector and the polarization of the far fields.
Ofcourse any mathematical analysis must start with the
application of current and resulting movement of flux ala
Pointings vector. However I have yet to see an explanation
how this mathematical function is impacted upon by the
polarisation desired. Even if this is a misinterpretation
of what is in the books the poster is at least entitled
to a explanation of the effect of circular polarization
and how this impinges on Poyntings vector in a mathematical
sense. How else can we attract newbies to the hobby?
Ofcourse Cecil you also have muddled up things by introducing
your favorite subject but I suspect you did that because of
that rebel approach as opposed to confusing the poster(grin)
Regards
Art
