You assume that there no field electron emission. Why? Because if it was there, you would see the sparks and corona effects. It is better to measure it: "Ian White GM3SEK wrote: Coming back to the effectiveness of baluns, the final decider is the amount of unwanted RF current on the outside of the coax shield, compared to the wanted current in the antenna element. The only way to find that out for sure is to *measure* it, in the system as installed. I'm a big fan of RF current meters based on simple snap-on ferrite beads. Add a few turns of wire, one resistor, a diode detector, and you have a real measuring instrument. It's a real eye-opener to be able to snap the meter over any cable and *see* the common mode RF current. Have you the result of counting of electrons which go forwards and backwards at the feed point? S* |
