"Now to avoid nitpicking are you saying that E=IZ cannot be used for calculations at the end of an antenna and if so "WHY"?" It is complicated by multiple currents. Like an open-circuited transmission line, electrical conduction stops at the end of the conductor. Current then becomes a phasor problem. Collapse of conduction current induces a voltage which combined with the incident voltage almost doubles the total voltage at this spot in many cases. This reverses the direction of current in the conductor. Due to capacitance at his high-voltage spot with the iniverse, displacement current flows into free space from open-circuited antenna ends. It is usually smaller than the conduction current. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
