Antenna future
 

I found it interesting to read on a particular
antenna page that the antenna future will revolve
around what the person was presenting.
He may well be correct if we are all lemmings but
people who piddle with antennas are a different breed.
Personaly I see antennas gyrating towards smaller
antennas where radiation per unit length will finish
at the top of the heap
Antenna engineers have become so focussed on the half
wave patterns that they have completely ignored the
low efficiency portions at the ends of a half wave
antenna. Future antennas most surely will remove these
low efficient radiator parts together with the addition
of coupling techniques that will help to move away
from the Yagi syndrome, together with resolving the
of a "lossless" coupling direct to the transmitter
that will obsolete the need of matching interface.
Ofcourse this is where my intersts lie, but does this
vision of the future match yours or am I thinking
of the impossible? One noted Russion scientist stated
that theoretically radiation can come from a single point,
is this part of our future or just an impossible dream ?
Best regards, and please put your pea shooters aside
and try to get along rather than looking for
ten seconds of cheap glory.

Are they the rats that jump off the cliff into the sea? If they are, I am not
one of them.

people who piddle with antennas are a different breed.

I experiment with antennas, but piddle? I thought in Olde English that meant
something else.

The rest of you post was interesting, could you provide more detail? What is
"Yagi syndrome" and lossless coupling to the transmitter?

What low efficiency portions?

Probably because you passed up four technical questions:
could you provide more detail?
What is "Yagi syndrome"
lossless coupling to the transmitter?
What low efficiency portions?
to indulge yourself asking this.

For goodness sake why don't you and Danny put away your pea shooters and
handle yourselves in an orderly manner. I have not avoided or passed up any
questions, I am just in a standby mode to see what others visualise
as what the future might bring or what they would like to see ,after which I
will elaborate on my thoughts even tho
some lurkers such as yourself may well be concentrating on distance and
accuracy of their pea shooters.

Richard,
My peashooter is racked. Guess that means I'm just
lurking? But I'm really enjoying the turkey shoot.

Ten seconds of cheap glory is often all you get.
