Default Remarkably Small Antennas - Fact or Fiction

The experimental antennas are as small as one-
fiftieth of a wavelength and could shrink further.

Fact or Fiction?


Roger-

I'd say this was factual fiction!

Perhaps they are receive-only antennas that use something like an MOS
FET to drive a low impedance cable.

Perhaps the one-fiftieth wavelength antennas were used in the
experiments that failed!
