Of course, that's blatantly false, taken literally. A 2" diameter 10"
long solenoid coil coaxially inside a 2.5" ID grounded conductive tube will not have the same phase shift as the identical coil inside a 5" ID grounded conductive tube, and neither will behave the same as the same coil included as a loading coil in Cecil's mobile antenna. It won't even have the same inductance in each case. Before you say, "Give us a break, Tom. Of course it won't and clearly that's not what was meant," just consider how literally both the posters and the lurkers here take things. AND in fact, as shown in the simulation I just reported on, the coupling between that coil and the magnetic fields of other nearby components does affect the performance of that coil. In general, when the fields, electric and magnetic, around any component interact with their environment, a change in that environment will change the behaviour of the component. Thankfully, we have a lot of components where that effect is minimal at the frequencies of interest, but we do need to take note of cases where the effect is important. I DAILY work with tiny components that DO behave differently, depending on their environment. At several GHz, seemingly small couplings can be very important. Cheers, Tom |
