Inuendo devoid of any technical content, Ian?


Precisely and specifically NOT that!

Let me have one last try:
The human observer sees a larger picture of the whole antenna, and can
choose many different ways to theorize about it. But a theory cannot
be correct if it requires that components behave in different, special
ways according to the way a person happens to be thinking about it at
the time.

If you cannot see that statement as a fundamental principle of
scientific logic, then I have run out of ways to tell you.

Replacing the part of my previous message that you snipped:

Electronic components... have no conception of traveling or standing
waves. They react simply to the voltages and currents they experience at
their terminals.

They cannot behave in different ways for different types of current. If
you want to analyse the current into different parts and give them
different labels, a pure, lumped loading inductance MUST still respond
to every kind of current in the same way.


It is not my theory. It is the distributed network
model which you apparently reject.

No, I reject your incorrect applications. The reasons may look simple
but they are absolutely fundamental.
