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

neither L nor C contributes any loss in any kind of circuit analysis i
have ever seen.... its always the R that converts the electrical
energy to heat to remove it from doing something useful besides
heating the room.

Silly
Impedance consists of resistance Ra and reactance jxx. You can remove
resistance Ra from an element while the reactance constituent can
still remain.
Thus the impedance remains real.
Don't give up your job just yet!
