It's you claim that current flows primarily in the center of a conductor. Avoiding the math for now, let's do the necessary thought experiments. If this were a court of law, the judge would prepare a set of rhetorical questions, all of which must be true if the plaintiffs claims were true. I'll do the same. 1. If current flows along the inside of a wire, and not on the outside, how does the field radiate through the alleged non-conducting outer part of the wires? The radiation would be trapped inside the conductor, only to perhaps emerge at ends. 2. If current flow along the inside of a wire, then it would seem that increasing the effective diameter of the conductor would have no effect on its impedance. Measurements of the Q of large diameter conductors versus small diameter conductors have show that impedance goes down with an increase in wire diameter. 3. How does a cage antenna work? The effective diameter is huge, but there's a giant hole in the middle, through which no current is conducted. If most of the RF current flowed through the center, and there is no center, then a cage antenna can't work. I can conjur a few more rhetorical questions, but these should be sufficient to illustrate the problem. Your antenna current distribution model does not fit very well with tested reality. Got any more prediction? I need the target practice. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
