Prove I erred!

Roy pointed it out not I. He can be more specific

Put a sine wave in an antenna and you get a sine wave out.

Very true

Kraus says:
"The currents on the transmission line flow out on the antenna and end
there, but the fields associated with them keep on going."

Could be


Art in a previous posting said I should quote "Lady Chatterley`s Lover"
as people were tiring of Terman. I read it before it was even printed in
the U.K. (1960) but this is an antenna newsgroup and Terman is more
appropriate.

But I have never read it!

I don't believe I pointed to " Maxwell" but all of the scientists
involved with radiation, and there are many. I didn't make a point
of searching for the names just don't recall seeing them.


If people want something other than Terman, he gives a terrific
bibliography at the bottom of page 864 in his 1955 opus.

I will take a look at that


Art also said in a previous posting that Terman did not credit Maxwell
with defining radiation. Let me put the lie to that.
On page 864 of his1955 opus, Terman writes:

"The laws governing such radiation are obtained by using Maxwell`s
equations to express the fields associated with the wire; when this is
done there is found to be a component, termed the radiated field having
a strength that varies inversely with the distance."
