To be polarized must be the two poles (nodes)


The tip of a monopole and its base are its two nodes. A monopole is

polarized.


This is a very simple lesson to learn.

but, but, but, the base is a voltage minimum, not the opposite peak


voltage of the top!!! *how can that form two nodes to make the
electrons jump opposite directions? *this just can't be true! *this
must only be half polarity polarisation.

Half polarity = no polarity.

The field emission take place where the voltage exists. But at the end the
voltage is doubled (standing wave). So the strong radiation is only from the
nodes.
S*


so if there is only a single high voltage point at the top how is it
vertically polarized and how does it radiate at all without the other
half of the dipole?
