The energy flowing in a flat transmission line goes somewhere.

Both systems are flat so they seem similar to me. A terminated
Rhombic radiates and has approximately the same feedpoint impedance
as wide spaced transmission line.

And, just out of curiosity, how would you construct a traveling wave
dipole?


In my head or in real life? A terminated Sloping-V comes to mind.
