It could be an inductive antenna or a resonant (resistive) antenna, and the radiation fields, E&H, would still be at right angles in space, in the plane of the plane wave, perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel. I am aware of how these vectorial fields look like ... When I said "magnetic field and electric field are 90 degrees out of phase (it is a capacitive antenna)", I was refering that in any point in space, when the electric field peaks, the magnetic field hits zero; when the electric field drops to zero, the magnetic field change direction and peaks again in the other direction, etceteras. I said nothing about the spatial position of their vectors - which is a known, even by me. I just said that there is a shift(!) between the sinusoidals. My point is that a clean EM radiation has both fields in phase, which means that the scalar values of both vectors (electric and magnetic) change synchronously: when the electric field peaks, the magnetic field peaks as well, when the electric field hits zero, so does the magnetic field. Therefore, I was saying that I suspect the superposition of two different EM radiation coming out from a dipole. These two fields do not necessarily reinforce eachother, but rather they create their own counterparts with wich they go along. You must have misunderstood me. Borrow a copy of Terman`s 1955 edition from a library and study page No. 1. Thank you for the reference. Cordially, Nic. |
