Default mesh radiator

Nothing more to add, you have it all.


Not really.

For examples, over a given r-f bandwidth:

- Radiation pattern throughout the free-space radiation sphere?
- Free-space gain with respect to an isotropic radiator (dBi) or a
matched, 1/2-wave dipole (dBd)?

Note that any particular r-f termination may have low feedpoint VSWR
over a considerable bandwidth, for some reference impedance value --
but that does not necessarily make it a useful antenna (think: dummy
load).
