The law I am refering to is that every action has an opposite reaction, not quite the words Newtons used but the reaction is on par with the initial action. If you are in doubt look up Newtons actual words. You could lookup the exact quote for Newton's 3rd law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." Please note that the words "parity" and "on par" are not used anywhere in the explanation and discussion. If you want to introduce new physical principles, it would probably be best if you used more conventional terminology suitable for the GUM (great unwashed masses). Parity is what I picked up on this newsgroup so when in Rome........ Parity means the maintainance of balance still sounds O.K. but I will not use it any more! Art Well, there are also online dictionaries. Try: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+parity None of the definitions for parity resemble whatever it is you're trying to do, explain, or complain about. Incidentally, the way you use Google as a dictionary is to inscribe: define: parity in the search box. You also use the term equilibrium in a similar manner. Your use is correct (to mean a type of balance) but you consistently fail to adequately describe what is balancing against what else. Some people may prefer your technobabble description, but if there's a balance, there's also a corresponding equation which equates whatever it is you're balancing. I like equations and numbers. If you genuinely want to understand how antennas work based on first principles, you might consider that all an antenna does is provide an optimum transfer (match) of power between a transmitting device at some impedance (usually 50 ohms) and the impedance of free space (377 ohms). Everything else in antenna design is controlling the direction and efficiency of this power transfer. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS |
