Default Antenna gain question

Would it be possible that the question went by the following thing?

When we study directional or isotropic receiving antennas, we assume
for example:

Punctual sources generating spherical wave fronts (convex) or
infinitely far away punctual sources creating plane wave fronts for all
the practical effects.
Under these conditions the receiving antennas are "outer" of the
radiant sphere; this way, the effective area of a directional antenna
represents a bigger external surface and it intercepts more energy than
the corresponding to an isotropic antenna, then everything agrees with
what we have learned on the directivity of the antennas, but in this
example the conditions are inverted, now we don't have plane or convex
fronts, we have concave fronts. The solution under the new conditions
is different from the habitual one...

I think that the environment of the problem is similar that of the
Kirchhoff law of thermal radiation: "a small sphere inside a radiant
sphere".
I also think that the conditions of this problem could be similar (and
therefore taken place artificially) to those of light`s receiver inside
a luminous sphere.
In this case we proceed as when we study the entropía of an isolated
system, in such a system the entropía can diminish, although that is
not possible for the whole universe (I suppose this allows me to escape
elegantly of Richard's question... ; D

73´s for all, and thank you very much for your very interesting and
instructive habitual postings.

¿Sería posible que la cuestion pasara por lo siguiente?:

Cuando estudiamos antenas receptoras direccionales o isotropicas
asumimos por ejemplo:

Fuentes puntuales generando frentes de onda esféricos (convexos) o
fuentes puntuales infinitamente alejadas que producen frentes de onda
planos para todos los efectos practicos.
En estas condiciones las antenas receptoras están "fuera" de la esfera
radiante; así, el área efectiva de una antena direccional representa
una superficie exterior mayor e intercepta más energía que la
correspondiente a una antena isotrópica, entonces todo concuerda con
lo que hemos aprendido sobre la directividad de las antenas, pero en
este ejemplo las condiciones se invierten, ahora no tenemos frentes
planos o convexos, sino de frentes cóncavos. La solución en las
nuevas condiciones es diferente de la habitual...

Pienso que el entorno del problema es parecido al de la ley de
Kirchhoff de la radiación térmica: "una pequeña esfera dentro de una
esfera radiante".
También pienso que las condiciones de este problema pudieran ser
similares (y por lo tanto producidas artificialmente), a las de un
receptor de luz dentro de una esfera luminosa.
En este caso procedemos como cuando estudiamos la entropía de un
sistema aislado, en tal sistema la entropía puede disminuir, aunque
eso no sea posible para el universo entero (supongo que eso me permite
huir elegantemnnte de la pregunta de Richard ;D

73's para todos y muchas gracias por sus interesantes e instructivos
escritos habituales.
