Just as a non-insulting question, to what do you attribute the
principles you describe not being discovered until radio and antenna
technology becoming fairly mature? Given that physically small
radiators have been desirable just about forever, it is interesting
that no one has not accidentally stumbled upon your type of antenna at
least once in the past hundred years.

One would not have to ascribe to your interesting views on physics to
accidentally produce something that works according to your principles.
Sweeping an antenna over a wide range should produce clues, if not
understanding.


Which is to say I'd ordinarily expect things to happen in a particular
order typically in one or two modes:

1. Discover the effect accidentally.

2. Reproduce the effect.

3. Come up with good theory to support the effect.



Way two


1. Theorize the effect.

2. Build the apparatus to prove it.

3. Reproduce the results.


Either way is fine much has been learned through honest sweat as well as
cerebral horsepower.
