In the case of a single monopole mounted with its base at earth level,
adding tilt to it makes very little difference in its gain at elevation angles up to +60 degrees or so, at any azimuth. It does partially fill the elevation null at the zenith produced by the vertical monopole, as well as to produce a small amount of h-pol radiation over most of the compass. Modeling this in NEC for a 1 MHz, 1/4-wave, straight monopole by moving its top 10 meters out of plumb changed its peak gain by about 0.01 dB compared to the untilted version, at any azimuth. RF |

RF Gain has never been as issue in tipping the radiator except for some who which to interject it. Pointing's vector shows a radiation patterm that is spherical and in a state of equilibrium It is not the radiation pattern of a donut which all are familiar with. Thus if one wants coverage in all directions one must pursue an array or conductor in equilibrium. The present state of the art only considers gravity as being outside the arbitrary border such that the equal and opposite vecter is exactly that. ie at right angles to the Earth's surface. Now we all know that the radiation pattern of such does not remotely resemble that of Pointings vector! To get to the point of a spherical radiation pattern one must recognize that there is an additional vector outside the boundary that one must consider to obtain equilibrium. So far you have shown progress by tipping the radiator where it started to fill the void at the center of the donut. This alone confirms the idea that another vector has to be considered outside the arbitrary border. Now rotation is an essential property of the Universe as fracture of an arbitrary boundary is created by two forces which are not on a common plane. This is a shear force which also creates torque or spin ,so it stands to reason that the other force in combination with gravity is a force of torque or rotation. If Coriolis is not that vector what other characteristic fits the bill? |

This alone confirms the idea that another vector has to be considered outside the arbitrary border The change in the elevation pattern shape and gains seen in the "tipped" NEC plot I posted are NOT due to equilibrium, vectors outside boundaries, shear forces, torque, spin etc. The change in the pattern of the tipped vertical dipole are due to changes in the amount and direction of the energy radiated toward the earth by, and near the antenna, and the net field that results by the vector addition of that reflection with the energy radiated in a given direction by the dipole itself. Suggest you use NEC to model a vertical dipole in free space, at several physical rotation angles away from plumb. See if the gain and shape of the radiation pattern changes (they won't, if your model is valid). Also note that the Poynting vector does not take the form of a perfect sphere for any linear antenna -- only for a (non-existent) isotropic radiator. RF |

We choose to disagree. I can go along with that just to get you and others off my back. I will go away and let all mumble about things between themselves. I need a vacation this year anyway and the kids are back in school so it is a good time and the weather is just right. This month will be momentous at the UN so a seat in the gallery sound good We will see. |

Thus if one wants coverage in all directions one must pursue an array or conductor in equilibrium. The "donut" is a red herring. It's a visualization, not a blob of RF coming off the antenna. All antennas radiate in all directions. Some directions are higher intensity than others, but all directions none the less. The donut just exists to help us put a number on what is happening. rotation is an essential property of the Universe as fracture of an arbitrary boundary is created by two forces which are not on a common plane. This is a shear force which also creates torque or spin ,so it stands to reason that the other force in combination with gravity is a force of torque or rotation. If Coriolis is not that vector what other characteristic fits the bill? So Coriolis needs re-defined also as not a mechanical *effect*, but as an electrical *force* that compels objects or energy to rotate. I'll not be so beholden to summarily reject what you are saying, but what you are talking about wold have to be something other than Coriolis effect, it would have to be a as yet undefined and un named force. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
