==========================

A terminated rhombic does NOT have a loss in the forward direction.
Radiation in the forward direction remains the same as when unterminated.

When terminated it is radiation in the UNWANTED reverse direction which is
absorbed by the termination and suppressed.

But, unlike the B&W, that loss is in only one direction
which turns the rhombic into an effective directional beam.
