Default small antennas

When O when is anything going to happen in the small antenna areana or
is the need actually ficticious because of diminishing returns with the
use of such?

Art, O please note that even an infinitely small isotropic radiator has a
peak (and r.m.s.) intrinsic gain of 0 dBi in free space. A linear, 1/2-wave
dipole has only 2.15 dB more peak gain than that for those conditions, due
to the shape of its radiation pattern.

If you can prove, and others can replicate your claims that the radiation
performance and efficiency of your shoebox antenna with equilibrium/
particle theory/ tilt etc compares favorably to an isotropic radiator or
some other known and proven reference antenna, then your critics will
disappear.

Technobabble and hand-waving do not count. Neither does scoffing at decades
of field-proven research and practice in antenna engineering, while at the
same time claiming that the "masters" support your concepts (even though
your concepts are unproven).

Otherwise your posts about this will continue to be viewed with high
skepticism and scorn, and rightly so.

Probably you will duck behind your "patent claim" now, as you have done in
the past when pressed for details.

And so it goes (and goes, and goes).
