Default opinions on an antenna idea


The answer here, as it is to so may binary questions, is that it behaves
in some ways like one, some ways like the other, and some ways like
neither.

If one were to find lossless material (superconductors?) for the short

the antenna became shorter and shorter compared with the half-wave
dipole? Would it simply approach an isotropic radiator?
