I expect to put some more things on my page especially the model that I am honing now. Now I have a 8 inch dia coil about 4 inches high relatively close wound. Inside is the counter wound coil connected to the other coil to make a closed circuit. It is placed on a perfect ground in leau of a reflector. What I have done is balanced the inductance with the capacitance, *as you move around in frequency it will always be close to resistive because of the balancing I have done. It takes a while for the program to work from near near resistance (.01 ohms) and I have now reached 11 ohms for 16.5 dbi gain where the lower resistance gave me about 30 dbi The resistance values are wave like as is the variation in gain per cycle. Field shape so far varies from elliptical to something like the double. zepp. My intention is to plot up to 20 ohms and that will take several times longer than that taken already. The model has about a dozen sections per winding and I am pretty much limited to 10 segments per section. All very interesting because I am following the idea of canceling all lumped loads in line with Maxwells laws that deals only with distributed loads. Frequency range covered up to now is 685 to 1200Mhz With this amount of information you can start laughing now *well before I put it up Art just did a check at 3 Ghz. 20 dbi at 5 ohm resistive so I may not get to 20- ohm resistive So after I get a reasonable graph I will have to modify the model to see if I can increase the resistance spam. Note that the metallic resistance calculated is to gauge losses and is not the source impeadance |

Note that the metallic resistance calculated is to gauge losses and is not the source impeadance I assume you are using AOPro, since that is what you have previously stated when asked what you use for analysis. AOPro is an old version of Mininec wrapped in an optimizer with 2D and 3D result presentation. It has none of the current corrections to fix the mathematical mistakes that were made in the original Mininec. Sometimes those mistakes are relevant, sometimes not. In the case of an antenna like you describe, they probably mostly are. If AOPro say 5 ohms + or - j something, the 5 is the real part of the feedpoint impedance. It is not the loss as you state. The maximum wire diameters of your model seem to be impractical for use with Mininec where it is not advisable to go beyond .001 wavelengths from what I'm able to determine. Based on that assumption I get a maximum usable wire gauge for 685MHz of 25, and for 1200MHz 30. At 3000 it's a number not even on the AWG table I have -38. So to model this antenna at 3000MHz you should use 38 AWG or smaller wire for any chance of accurate results. You also stated that it is close spaced but gave no numbers, so I can't comment on that. But I have a feeling that too may violate the limits of Mininec's calculation engine. Be careful of what you model and how you model it. Distrust miraculous results not confirmed by other methods. tom K0TAR |

In the engineering world this is factual. If something deviates from Maxwells laws you cannot say 'don't go there' and you cannot overthrow what the program provides and at the same time when it is in accordance with Maxwells laws. To follow that path is to over throw Maxwell to reinforce your own will. That is not science. This approach overthrows fact for success in favor of the present approach on this group that is based on perceived probabilities that all other competing theories are based upon. I continue to use my program and let all the chips fall where they may. So far, and I have a long way to go, is that skin depth minimises as current flow moves out of the metallic member and closer to encapsulating particles provided by the Gaussian equation. There is no reason to put a halt to this work until it is proven that the program deviates from Maxwells equations and thus is fraudulent. I and nobody else, has pointed at any specific point of my work that specifically states that my approach is in error based on known boundary rules and classical physics. All assaults have been based purely on opinion, mostly in a derogatory way to preserve resistance to change rather than the path of better understanding. |

And also as a user of AO from many years ago... that program is prone to optimizing into unrealizable and obviously incorrect results, often first seen as rapid changes in currents and gain values. so if you really want to continue, have fun, we all get a good laugh out of your naivety and attempts to explain it with your own version of physics. |
