Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

The Rhombic antenna does not support your thesis.


Of course it does, Richard. The rhombic is a traveling-
wave antenna. Unlike a 1/2WL dipole, its current phase
changes with distance from the feedpoint.

We certainly have an EZNEC 1/2WL dipole model but
I don't think EZNEC comes with a rhombic model. Do
you happen to have one? If not, I'll be glad to
whip one out. I guarantee the results will be no
different from the 1/4WL terminated wire that I
presented previously.
