"And "end effect" is the confusion created at the top of the radiator." When the signal arrives at the open circuit end of the antenna, current can not continue its forward flow. It abruptly stops, no longer producing a magnetic field. Energy from the magnetic field is converted to energy in the electric field for an instant (Cecil`s famous conservation of energy). This produces an insreased voltage at the open circuit end. This incresed voltage has more capacitive effect, akin to the "Miller effect" caused by the higher signal voltage on the plate of an amplifier vacuum tube than on its grid. On a transmission line or on an antenna system, we used to call this capacitive action the "Ferranti effect" Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
