There's no confusion. Terminated rhombics and Beverages are
traveling-wave antennas. Their currents are primarily:
I(x,t) = Io*cos(kx-wt)
A 1/2WL dipole is a standing-wave antenna. It's current is
primarily:
I(x,t) = Io*cos(kx)*cos(wt)

People need to understand the huge difference in the 2 waveforms that you
present.


I agree with you but what do you do with people who choose
to remain ignorant? Allow their ignorance to dominate the
newsgroup simply because they think they already know
everything?
