Art, You have just mentioned a constraint on antennas that I was not
aware of. Specifically "the ratio of capacitance to inductance must be
unity".

This is new to me. Please tell me how I go about making capacitance and
inductance equal so their ratio can be unity. How do you get the Farads
and Henries to cancel out, leaving a dimensionless number.

Can you give me some real world examples?

joe

I will be happy to do so
Root L/C = 1

This means that L/C both of which are loss contributors are removed
from any formulae

Art,
That does not address the question at all.

How do the Henries in L and the Farads in C cancel to give a dimensionless
number?

A real world example would have numbers and a description the one could
duplicate to better understand what you are syaing.
