"Roy Lewallen"
Elevated radials do radiate. However, assuming a symmetrical structure, the radiation is minimal (assuming there's another normally radiating conductor in the system) because the fields from the wires nearly cancel in all directions. At right angles to the plane of the radials and along the center line, the cancellation is complete and radiation zero -- again assuming a perfectly symmetrical structure. In a typical ground plane vertical system, the contribution to the total field from the radials is minimal, in any direction. ________________ Here is a link to a NEC-2 study I did about a month ago for a broadcast board, based on this configuration. Roy, I'd be grateful for your comments if you see anything you don't agree with there. http://www.freefilehosting.org/publi...60%20Plots.pdf RF |
