would be easily seen in a measurement.


How about a coil with 180 degree phase shift as described by Kraus?

"A coil can also act as a 180 degree phase shifter as in the collinear
array of 4 in-phase 1/2WL elements in Fig. 23-21b. Here the elements
present a high impedance to the coil which may be resonated without
an external capacitance due to its distributed capacitance. The coil
may also be thought of as a coiled-up 1/2WL element."

Here's the diagram in 23-21b

--------------coil-------------FP---------------coil----------------
1/2WL 1/2WL 1/2WL 1/2WL

The coils are designated as "Phase-reversing". Each coil occupies 1/2WL
electrically.

Have you never encountered phased arrays like the above or understood
that the coils are causing a 180 degree phase shift? That's the way
my Diamond 440 MHz mobile antenna works.
