transmission lines and SWR and fractional wave antennas
RE my earlier post starting:
Art, the current distribution along even the shortest (fractional wavelength), constant OD radiator also is ~sinusoidal. etc ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com** That was my first (and last) use of Teranews, who took a couple of days to post it. I had given up on them, and switched to Google to make the post. Now this duplicate shows up - sorry. |

But in fact that "triangular" current distribution is just a very short section of a sinusoidal waveform. Yes, for a few degrees around the zero crossing point, y=Ax+B can be a close approximation. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

One of the first things Maxwell noted of his equations is that they have the form of equations desceibing wave movements in water. One of my (new to me) books on electromagnetics supports Art`s use of Gauss. Stanley V. Marshall in "Electromagnetic Concepts & Applications" says: "In most cases, it is much easier to evaluate the scalar field direction from which we can evaluate the electric field intensity than to find the electric field intensity directly. In cases of symmetrical charge distribution, using Gauss`s law to find the electric field intensity is still the simplest method, if we can find a Gaussian surface that will allow us to remove the field function from under the integral sign. There are several ways to solve the same problem. Even if we use photons, all must give the same answer. I appologize for disparaging Art`s methods. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |

Does the book extend the rule of equi;ibrium to helical antennas by applying cancellation of the lumped loads provided by this means of construction, which thus provides the means for smaller antennas?
