The IEEE Standard Definitions Terms for Antennas (IEEE Std 145-1993)

So what?

snip babble

The post concerning "a unique and unambigous definition" which "can be
found in any textbook on electromagnetics" and subsequent
back-pedaling appears to fit that model. Your "So what?" provides the
meh.

Yeah, the "back-pedaling" which consisted of changing "any textbook" to
"many textbooks".

And nowhere did I reference any standard, IEEE, ISO, or any other standards
body.

well, maybe you should have... after all, some of us do use things
written by those bodies. *some of us help write and test those
standards. *and it sure would be nice if we could refer to a standard
way of describing antenna performance.

If this is so important to you, I am sure you will be researching all
the electromagnetics textbooks, antenna texbooks, industry and trade
publications, the ARRL, the RSGB, manufacturers, and everyone else with
any interest in antennas to determine the "correct" usage and definition
of the terms in question, and submitting a draft proposal to the IEEE.

nope, i don't care that much, but you sure seem to be insisting there
is a correct usage when obviously it hasn't ever been really agreed
upon by the right people. so you are the one who should be trying to
get all the worlds authors to agree to define it the same way and get
it into all the text books where its been missing all these years.
