![]() "Cecil Moore" wrote the message the antenna must be reactive ! From your explanation at 180 degrees, why doesn't current at the right side flip over then ? Should be. When all the voltages and currents are either in phase or 180 degrees out of phase, the resulting impedance is purely resistive. There is *no reactance* in an ideal resonant dipole! -- 73, Cecil, IEEE. I agree that the antenna is a chain of different pure resistances. But that doesn't explain the asymmetric 'snapshot' here. At the left side we see '+' voltage and '+' current and at the right side we see '-' voltage and '+' current ! Why should it be asymmetric? When i put a car battery with the plus on a lamp i will see a minus current ?? |
