Start at an extreme case for the T. If the two conductors of the T's
stem are close together, then your T loop's stem is going to act like
open feedline. If the two conductors of the T's top are close together,
then your T loop's top is going to act a folded dipole.

Opening parellel sides of the stem or/and the top makes the structure
move towards becoming a square (rectangular) assembly.

If you keep the lower end of the stem close together and widen the top
of the stem, then the T moves towards an inverted delta assembly.
