It's more of a math term than an antenna term. I believe this refers to the
'method of moments' used to calculate the far field. Take the currents in
all the little sections of the antenna and sum the contributions of each for
the total field...like what happens in real life.

Thanks Steve. The way the fellow used it it sounded like a single
quantity the square of which was proportional to the radiation
resistance. People who write articles for journals sometimes
get a bit fanciful in their terminology.
