Cecil, In a simple monopole with one inductor, let L1 be the distance from the base of an antenna to the bottom of the loading coil in meters, L2 the length of the loading coil, L3 the distance from the top of the loading coil to the top of the antenna. I is the base current, L the inductance value and F the frequency. You can assume the antenna is very thin. Since your theory is so elegant and well developed, and you've had such an excellent education at Texas A&M, it shouldn't be difficult at all for you to write a couple of simple equations which give the currents at the two ends of the coil. In the time-honored methods of science, your equations can then be tested against modeled and measured results to prove the validity of your theory.

The forward current through the loading coil is I+. The reflected current through the loading coil is I-. The net current at any point in the coil is I+ + I- (phasor addition) The magnitude of the net current depends upon the phase of I+ and I-. Itot = I+ + I- There's the equation that I have already posted many, many times. Sorry you missed it. . . . Helloo. . . Anybody home? Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
