Followon to image theory
It is said that the elevated radials are an artificial ground plane,
simulate a ground plane, form a virtual ground plane, or approximate a ground plane. It may be that the radials perform the same function as a ground plane, but do not form a real ground plane. For example, the Butternut antenna manual at following web address says that elevated radials are an artificaial ground plane. http://www.bencher.com/pdfs/00361ZZV.pdf What functions do the radials perform that are the same as a real ground plane? What similarities are there between radials and a real ground plane? |

How is the monopole antenna system connected to the real ground plane - as opposed to an ideal infinite conducting plane? What about radials buried inside the real ground plane? -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

Repetition does nothing to reveal these as anything more than disconnected statements. For example, the Butternut antenna manual at following web address says that elevated radials are an artificaial ground plane. http://www.bencher.com/pdfs/00361ZZV.pdf Simple observation of the wandering usage through that document would inform most that "ground plane" is a term of convenience. What functions do the radials perform that are the same as a real ground plane? There is no such thing as a "real ground plane." What similarities are there between radials and a real ground plane? None. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
