Default Dipole-2 different wire sizes?

You did not answer the question why there is no intermodulation
in a transmitter antenna, while you claim it is nonlinear.


All is linear in the textbooks (necesary simplification).
In reality all is nonlinear.


So you think the electron emission from your transmitter antenna is
something not in the textbooks but still happening in reality?

Because a dipole does not need a ground, it is a symmetric antenna which
is not driven relative to ground.


Do you mean the antenna with the two legs where the one leg is connected to
the shield of a coax?


That is not a correct way to feed a dipole!
There must be a balun between the coax and the dipole.

The number of radials is the power dependent. More power radiated more
electrons must be taken from a ground.
Do you agree?

No.


For what are sometime the 120 radials?

To provide a return for the HF current being fed into an unbalanced
vertical. Not to provide electrons to be emitted.
