No chance that Kraus could be right and you be wrong? :-)
Please read Kraus' book, Tom, and get back to us. Richard H.
has the book and has verified what I have posted about it.

A stub is not the same as a lumped-component tank circuit.

An inductive stub can perform a similar function to an inductor.
In some resonant applications, a 1/4WL shorted stub can perform
a similar function to a tank circuit, trap, or self-resonant
inductor.

By the way, Cecil, I'm surprised at you. Have you tried *EVERY*
value of inductive reactance in EZNEC?

Enough values to see the trend. The lumped inductive reactances in
EZNEC never reverse the phase of the current. As the lumped inductive
reactance is increased on the phased array application, all that
happens is the current is reduced in magnitude. That's not the way
the real world works. Would you like a copy of those EZNEC files?
