Take the simple question I offered you some time ago: "What is the
value of this inductor?" You have never responded to this, nor
offered an anticipated value for your own, future work.

Value as inductance?

Yes, and its physical size. The remainder of you post is not data and
does not respond to the question.

Are we merging?

Hi Yuri,

I hope that wasn't a question of conjugation.

Humor aside (dry as it might be). Give details specific to a physical
model that can go directly into a software model:
Size of radiator (all physical dimensions);
Size and value of inductor (all physical dimensions);
Size and composition of ground field (radial count, gauge, and
physical dimensions);
Elevation of feed/GP - if any (physical dimension);
Position of Solenoid (physical dimension);
Frequency of excitation (Hz, radians/sec, or CPS - your choice).

I know you haven't done it yet. What do you intend for each above?
None of this is going to nail you down to prove with absolute
precision. None of this is so alien that it requires a semester of
study before committing to a prototype.

Scientific method proceeds from the question through experimentation
and data to the validation, not the other way around. That means you
should have all these details at least roughed out to an approximation
by now. I did as much from photos in less than half an hour. If you
were to do as much, you could already answer the majority of those
specifications asked for above.
