I recommend the following pair of wonderful articles.
Part one is in HAM RADIO, April, 1977, pp. 52-58. The second in May,
1977, pp. 29-39.
The full reference is: Boyer, Joseph M. (W6UYH): "The
Antenna-Transmission
Line Analog".

Mr Boyer simplifies the antenna analysis by equating parts of the
antenna to transmission lines along the same lines that you have.

================================

Nat, Antennas and transmission lines are not just analogues - Antennas
ARE transmission lines with controlled 'leakage'. In fact, as people
forever complain on these walls, it is impossible to prevent a transmission
line FROM leaking.

Genuine guru's lump the names 'lines' and 'antennas' together in one volume.
They may mention in passing that the mathematics are identical to both in
case a casual reader doesn't realise it. But if Terman disdainfully omits
mention of the obvious there's always the danger that his disciples may
think it doesn't exist.

I produced the brief semi-serious description just for the purpose described
in the subject line ;o)
