In which parts of antenna the charges acclerate?


Parts with r-f-current flow, the greatest radiation occurring from

locations along the radiator where current is greatest.

Your words: "Only the change in current and charge, over time, produces
EM
radiation."
At oscillations the current start from zero, accelerate to max speed and
deccelerate to zero.
At the max speed no acceleration at all.

Current flow is near zero at the ends of any unloaded dipole, and at

the top of any unloaded vertical monopole (even those in directional
arrays).

At the ends are the max accelerations and the max radiation.

No, you have it wrong again - the current must be zero at the ends, there is
nowhere for it to go, and there cannot be acceleration of charge is there's
no current. Please go away and read some books and the NEETS module to
which I provided the link.

Tesla created HF transformers. He didn't design them as antennas but,
because of their significant length at the operating wavelength, they did
act that way to some extent. The metallic ball (often a torus nowadays) is
a means of terminating the secondary in a way that reduces spurious
discharges - its radius of curvature is large. His ideas to distribute
electrical power using Tesla coils were crazy and dangerous, but some argue
he was the inspiration for AC distribution at much lower voltages, which is
a good thing.

There is very little apparent similarity between Nicola Tesla and that 'Art
Unwin' character. Tesla was an inventor who realised amazing feats of
hardware construction, some of which worked as intended. 'Professor Unwin'
doesn't appear to create anything in hardware - he just talks about his own,
paraphysical theories and expects others to believe what he says.

Again, don't believe what I write - go to a technical library and read the
stuff that made it into books. You can't rely on what people write on the
internet; there are too many 'Unwins' out there.

Look at the antenna current as an electron oscillating

At HF frequencies, the electrons move hardly at all, tending
to oscillate back and forth in place. The idea that electrons
race from end to end in an antenna is simply false.

http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SpeedOfElectrons

"... for a copper wire of radius 1 mm carrying a steady
current of 10 Amps, the drift velocity is only about
0.024 cm/sec!"

For a 100w 10 MHz RF wave, you can divide that distance by
more than 10,000,000. Exactly how far can the electron travel
in 0.05 microsecond?

It is the photons emitted by the electrons that travel at
the speed of light in the medium. That's the fields surrounding
the antenna conductor, not the electrons in the conductor.

Hi Chris
The question that goes to nub of Arts claim is
why is adding a time varying field to the Gaussian law of statics
illegal? or to state it another way,
How is it illegal to change a static field into a dynamic field?
can you, will you answer the question or are you just sitting on

I certainly haven't arrived here by sitting on anyone's shirt tails. If
you'd care to read some of the history of this NG you'd see where I come
from.

Your question is not put clearly, although I have seen garbled sentences
like this before in this Usenet group. My first question is: have you
bothered to read any of the respected books on the subject, such as
'Electromagnetics with applications' by Krauss and Fleisch. I suspect if
you had you wouldn't be asking me such a question - it makes no sense! Do I
take it you are referring to Gauss's law for electric fields? Are you aware
that there is a counterpart Gauss's law for magnetic fields? I don't
believe there is such a thing as a single 'Gaussian law of statics' -
someone has made that up!

Gauss's law for electric fields states: the integral of the electric flux
density over a closed surface equals the charge enclosed. This is an
important part of the basis of electrostatics, that is the study of
electrical phenomena caused by static charges, but it applicable at a point
in time to any scenario that involves an enclosed charge - which means any
electrical conductor, whether it carries a non-moving charge, DC or AC.
Gauss's law for magnetic fields states: the integral of the magnetic flux
density over a closed surface is equal to zero, and this is an important
part of the basis of magnetics, again whether static or changing.

Both of Gauss's laws are embodied in Maxwell's equations and for the normal
RF case of sinusoidally-alternating variables a number of different
notations can be used, a popular one being phasor notation. As you will
know, phasors are vectors that rotate at the same angular frequency but have
arbitrary phase relationships and amplitudes - so phasor notation is a
compact way of expressing quite a lot. But, in this case, every one of the
phasors involved, D the displacement current density, rho the enclosed
charge, and B the magnetic flux density, is a variable that alternates with
the passage of time. 'Dynamic' variables if you want to call them that.

Neither of Gauss's laws applies directly to strength of an electric or
magnetic field but the linkage is the other two of Maxwell's equations based
on Ampere's law and Faraday's law, which are both applicable to time-varying
fields - 'dynamic fields' if you must.

So ... would you like to put your question more clearly? What do you
actually mean by 'to change a static field into a dynamic field' in respect
of antennas, where all the electrical and magnetic variables are changing
with time, especially the fields? Is this the result of a misunderstanding
of the meaning of the word 'electrostatic' - used to differentiate between
those phenomena caused by the presence of contained charge and those caused
by its movement?

No. "Success" is showing up the self perceived experts.

The only person you're exposing is yourself and not in a good way. It
is extremely difficult to take your arguments seriously or even
understand them given your posts' poor spelling and grammar along with
the abysmal formatting.The spelling variants are understandable, my
schooling started on the banks of the Devon river. Words like
"fraustrated' are something else altogether. That isn't a fat-fingered
error.

Don't blame it one the web interface you post through.Your posts could
be composed and spell-checked in a text editor before the content is
pasted into a web interface. You could
also let
the web interface handle word-wrapping
instead of inserting
seemingly random cr/lf pairs in your
posts.

If you want to be taken seriously you need to present your theories
and arguments in a rational, cohesive manner.

in their inability to show me as wrong or even having a book that
states where and why I am wrong.

This is equaled and exceeded by your inability to clearly state and
detail your theories without the use of circular logic. Many times
when a question is asked rather than answer you choose to start a new
thread.

This is not rambling. Since when is
the truth rambling?

What makes any of your ramblings the truth? Was your post on GB
standing alone (3 Sept 2009) the truth? You conveniently ignored the
fact that GB's declaration of war came about because Germany had
attacked GB's ally Poland. GB stood beside Poland and not alone.

If you are an expert take up the challenge in
terms of academics or consult a professor for an answer Either is
acceptable for the purposes of debate of what is true or not
true.Everything I have stated
stands upon this very point

I have previously suggested that you present your theories directly to
those in the academic community. Why not obtain validation there and
then come back and say 'I told you so'?

So guys, direct yourselves at the root
instead of floundering around in a aimless fashion.
And as far as the size of the audience the bigger the better the
exposure and the more success I have against those who rely on
slander. I want this to be as wide spread as possible instead of
running away. Live with it .

Yet you always run to a new thread.

I am quite sure that many hams around the
World is following this augument looking for that first person you
will take up the challenge
and provide closure with an answer to this very simple question,
without the fear of recrimination from the group all of which say it
is illegal.

Did I mention something about spelling, grammar and formatting?

I'm not certain how "many hams around the World is following this
augument" but that number is insignificantly small relative to the
world-wide amateur community. The size of the amateur community is in
turn insignificantly small relative to the world-wide academic
community. You choice of venue is as questionable as anything else.

Gauss's law of statics is enclosed particles in equilibrium. Add a
time varying field to same it becomes a dynamic field in equilibrium
and thus equates with Maxwell's laws.

The easiest way to support your hypothesis is to show a plot or data
table showing how time effects a static field. Frankly I don't know
how you could show any relevant data since the word STATIC means
"unchanging over time" . Applying a time variable to something that is
static is pointless.
Time is relevant to DYNAMIC fields but someone else has already taken
care of that for us.

and thus equates with Maxwell's laws.

Once again: Gauss's laws are already applicable to time varying

(d) What Maxwell provided was unification of the presentation of the four

Time is relevant to DYNAMIC fields but someone else has already taken

I've noted, further down the thread, that the term 'electrostatic' is used
in electromagnetics to distinguish between phenomena that depend on the
presence of a quantity of charge (e.g. electric field strength) and
phenomena that depend on the rate of movement of charge (e.g. magnetic field
strength). Perhaps the 'static' part of the word is a misnomer when the
whole system is alternating at a radio frequency, but it is used widely in
the literature. For example, if you look up the components of electric
field around a dipole you'll find close-in reactive components that are
often referred to as 'electrostatic'.

As always: if in doubt, read Kraus.

Your question is not put clearly, although I have seen garbled sentences
like this before in this Usenet group. My first question is: have you
bothered to read any of the respected books on the subject, such as
'Electromagnetics with applications' by Krauss and Fleisch. I suspect if
you had you wouldn't be asking me such a question - it makes no sense! Do
I
take it you are referring to Gauss's law for electric fields? Are you
aware
that there is a counterpart Gauss's law for magnetic fields? I don't
believe there is such a thing as a single 'Gaussian law of statics' -
someone has made that up!


Gauss's law for electric fields states: the integral of the electric flux
density over a closed surface equals the charge enclosed. This is an
important part of the basis of electrostatics, that is the study of
electrical phenomena caused by static charges, but it applicable at a
point
in time to any scenario that involves an enclosed charge - which means any
electrical conductor, whether it carries a non-moving charge, DC or AC.
Gauss's law for magnetic fields states: the integral of the magnetic flux
density over a closed surface is equal to zero, and this is an important
part of the basis of magnetics, again whether static or changing.


Both of Gauss's laws are embodied in Maxwell's equations and for the
normal
RF case of sinusoidally-alternating variables a number of different
notations can be used, a popular one being phasor notation. As you will
know, phasors are vectors that rotate at the same angular frequency but
have
arbitrary phase relationships and amplitudes - so phasor notation is a
compact way of expressing quite a lot. But, in this case, every one of the
phasors involved, D the displacement current density, rho the enclosed
charge, and B the magnetic flux density, is a variable that alternates
with
the passage of time. 'Dynamic' variables if you want to call them that.


Neither of Gauss's laws applies directly to strength of an electric or
magnetic field but the linkage is the other two of Maxwell's equations

No, it is not pointless because it enables particles at rest ON
radiators. to be implied. This has been the problem for decades that
has prevented advancement. This extension thus moves away from the
idea of parts removed from the radiator itself. Referring to books is
like saying "all is known". So the question posed is all important
because, if true, it means that a radiator can be any shape size or
elevation as long as all contained is in a state of equilibrium.
Now all avoid the question because they say they don't understand the
word "equilibrium."
So I posed the question to a antenna optimizer where it responded with
a non planar design in equilibrium. Never mind whether it is useable
or not it confirmed the extension given. We have argued for a long
time on a question that contains the word equilibrium rather than
focussing on that which is now revealed. Now along comes this "chris"
who unlike Dr Davis declares he doesn't understand the question( not
equilibrium), tho he has been prolific in advice and insults. So
there has been absolutely no closure on the question thus giving rise
to insults.which all can supply with ease. The question is still
there and does not have academic closure!

What do you think gives you the power or the right to close a thread - is
this something written in the Usenet 'code of practice'? Surely, in
practice it will continue until all aspects of discussion have reached their
conclusions and more interesting threads have appeared.

Do yourself a favour Art, visit a technical library, read and try to
understand the real physics on which radio communication has been based. If
you have problems with any of the parts that are well documented then there
will be plenty of folk here who will be willing and able to illuminate,
including some with less time on their hands than myself who don't post very

Your problem is not understanding the motion of charges in the antenna.

Look at the antenna current as an electron oscillating
back and forth between the ends. The position over time is described
by a function. Throughout the entire length, the electron is
changing velocity (accelerating).

Hint: the _voltage_ at the feed point may be described by a sine wave.
Your challenge is to determine how the electrons move in response
to that sine wave.

Part of understanding this is knowing the difference between what is
happing as time progresses at the different parts of the antenna.

The trick to understanding this is to carefully do and understand
the mathematics that are involved.


It is not easy to understand you. Math says that "the derivative of a sine
wave is 0 at the peak," next that it is not true and next that math is
always right.

Electrons flow free in feed line and are compressed in ends. After short

As I stand on the corner waving goodbye to that bus, I fondly recall
how the logic stood that no current could be found on the tips of
radiators, thus trim them off to no loss of radiation. It took very
few decades before Art had then recognized that his new antenna's tips
had no more current than the full-length one, and he trimmed that one
once again! New and improved (as the saying goes). Another decade
passed into the new millennium and he observed that he could extend
this logic once again to the point where his last design encompassed a

Tesla created HF transformers. He didn't design them as antennas but,
because of their significant length at the operating wavelength, they did

It is than "tipping".

His ideas to distribute electrical power using Tesla coils were crazy and
dangerous, but some argue he was the inspiration for AC distribution at
much lower voltages, which is a good thing.

There is very little apparent similarity between Nicola Tesla and that
'Art Unwin' character. Tesla was an inventor who realised amazing feats
of hardware construction, some of which worked as intended. 'Professor
Unwin' doesn't appear to create anything in hardware - he just talks about
his own, paraphysical theories and expects others to believe what he says.

Again, don't believe what I write - go to a technical library and read the
stuff that made it into books. You can't rely on what people write on the
internet; there are too many 'Unwins' out there.


In library are very old things. Will be there about tipping?

Hi Tom,

By no means. The only thing that has changed over the years is that
he stopped his lamentations of being a martyr duct-taped to his
alumin(i)um crosses.

No, you have it wrong again - the current must be zero at the ends, there is
nowhere for it to go, and there cannot be acceleration of charge is there's
no current. Please go away and read some books and the NEETS module to

Hi Chris,

This mistake is being compounded daily, so it seems. The "absence" of
current on any particular portion of the antenna is the superposition
of two currents flowing - hence the term "standing wave antenna."
Hence there is something of a paradox that where two currents reside
(the metal elements are continuous and conductive) it is said no
current flows. There is a correlation between this superposed
solution and the pattern of the far-field pattern but that does not
lead to the conclusion that there is no "acceleration" of charge at
the ends. After-all, the abundant alternating voltage at those same
ends is also charge, n'est pas? It could be as easily argued that
superposed voltage nodes also define the pattern of the far-field
pattern.

QUOTE
A radio antenna may be defined as the structure associated with the
region of transition between a guided wave and a free-space wave, or
vice-versa. Antennas convert electrons to photons, or vice-versa.

Regardless of antenna type, all involve the same basic principle that
radiation is produced by accelerated (or decelerated) charge. The
basic equation of radiation may be expressed simply as:

IL = Qv (A m s^-1)

where

I = time-changing current, A s^-1
L = length of current element, m
Q = charge, C
v = time change of velocity which equals the acceleration of the
charge, m s^-2

Thus, time-changing current radiates and accelerated charge radiates.

In which parts of antenna the charges acclerate?
S*

In all the parts that carry current, of course. Isn't that obvious?

Incidentally, who is A* ? ... the person who wrote:

Does one wave has many polarizations, or one antenna has many
polarizations?
Which one: transmitter or receiver? Could you teach me?

Could mean that Art and S are the same person, one does seem to appear

when the other disappears.

You are right. Few mans ago I was writting that Gauss law is enough to do
antennas. Of course not this for magnetism.
Static charge produces static electric field and pulsed (in the end of
the antena) alternating field. It is radiation. For me there are ether
vaves. For Art photons or something else.

Which one of Gauss's two laws?

Above is wrote: "Of course not this for magnetism". The electric one.

Applying time to a static field doesn't make a static field a dynamic
field.

How can they possibly do that while traveling at

Maxwell did exactly that and called it Gauss' Law (Gauss did not do it
in his law that he did not call Gauss' Law). History came along and
uses the same name for two laws. Maxwell acknowledged Gauss'
contribution for statics and applied time to them to arrive at
dynamics (and honored Gauss by naming his dynamics Gauss' Law). So
History and Maxwell have long observed TWO Gauss' laws - each
distinctive as the first being static, the second dynamic.

Art has never gotten past this historical hiccup.
