Why does everybody insist on OVER-COMPLICATING this simple problem?
The Q of a resonant 1/2-wave dipole is given by - Q = Omega * L / 2 / R Where L is the end-to-end wire inductance and R is the radiation resistance of about 71 ohms. Just the same 'formula', in fact, as any other tuned circuit or transmission line. Resonant rise in voltage and current, and bandwidth, etc., all follow. It's so simple it doesn't occur to Terman and other 'beings' to mention it. ---- Reg |
