Formula 11.11

Has in the equation for radiated power the term

(2*PI*L/LAMBDA)**2

where L is the antenna length and LAMBDA the wavelength,
thereby showing that the radiated power decreases when the
antenna length decreases.

I will read up further and report further...


Ramo, Whinnery and Van Duzer gives the same derivation, including
the derivation of radiation resistance.

What you have posted is a unitless number with no relationship to anything.
