Steve I thank you for your response and I am beginning to see and have confidence in what I am saying alss I believe I over explained things which really created problems. Art, [short version: We're going to get nowhere unless we have a common terminology. The words you use clearly do not mean the same thing to you as what most others have come to accept.] Could you, perhaps, tell me in simple terms, just what it is you hope to accomplish or prove, or achieve with all this? What is your goal? When it is built and working per your ideas, what is this stack of "open loops" going to do, or not do [that other antennas don't do, or do] ??? Long version... I don't think you over explain, I believe you are using the terminology in unconventional ways and therefore I am unable to understand what the underlying concept is to which you refer. You use "Phase change" in a way that I can not understand. I am unable to get past what you are trying to say he In a straight member the current under goes a phase change at all times thus from one direction the current varies according to I Cos Phi i.e. [ If I understand what you refer to ] The proper way to describe this is to say that the "current" goes through an "amplitude" or "magnitude" change (a result of the AC sine wave nature of the generator) That is to say-as we know, the current builds up to a maximum, then falls to zero rapidly, then reversing direction and building to that same magnitude in the opposite direction whereupon it falls back to zero and repeats ad nausium. This, of course, is a standard sine wave of current we also call AC or RF. The "phase", on the other hand, is a term we use to refer to the _whole cycle_ -- all parts of the cyclic variation we call AC or a sine wave. This _whole thing_ can be compared to another sine wave of the same frequency and we can then talk about the relative phase of one to the other. These two can also be the reative phase of currents in differnt parts of a circuit or different parts of an antenna. The problem is that if there truly is a "phase change" in a sine wave, there must also be a frequency change for a short time until the phase stops changing and arrives at the new value of phase (relative to whatever we choose to be the reference. A synonym for phase is "time". The time at which a given part of a wave form occurs detrermines its phase. Teo waves are in phase when they are in "time step" or occur at the same time. When they occur at different times, then they are at different phases. accellerating in value and decellerating in value. They are accelerated at various rates, thus change in velocity (which we equate to current) It "increases" and "decreases" in value. The change in magnitude is accompanied by the requisite accelerations of the electrons, this is true. [note that "deceleration" is simply another way of stating the mathematically accurate negative acceleration] Now comes the choker... When the same electric current follows a coiled load there is no phase change Here's where I choke! I can not, for the life of me, figure out what you mean by "no phase change". In commonly accepted terminology this means that the frequency of the signal is constant, and it is as far as I am concerned in the in-coiled, straight wire version as well!. However, in light of your previous use, which appears to mean that the current is varying, this makes no sense, since the current sinewave is still present. It doesn't make any sense to continue to discuss trying to remove "rising inductance and capacitance ", your "1/2 corregated copper transmission lines", Why you feel the need to NOT have a closed loop, what an "open loop is", or the rest without a common language which allows you to transfer the concepts you which to present. Could you, perhaps, tell me in simple terms, just what it is you hope to accomplish or prove, or achieve with all this? What is your goal? Sorry Art. |
