David I have used Yagi's for decades. Nothing wrong with them, they
harfest more than 90%
of radiation available and are directive and very easy to make. What I
am pursueing is a different aproach to radiation
in an effort to make smaller and efficient antennas without resorting
to fractional wavelength.
It should not matter to you if I succeed or not. We have had many
years of the Yagi without much improvement so I am turning antennas on
its head
and starting again from where the Masters put their ideas together.
Maxwell just played with numbers and equations supplied to him by the
forerunners
he just wasn't interested in equilibrium he was interested in the
interplay of numbers only. It is our good luck that all the
forerunners included the consequences of equilibrium in all their
functions so whether Maxwell was interested or not the equilibrium
format was included whether he understood that or not. Now you and
everybody else knows that computor programs were built solely around
Maxwells laws with the condition of equilibrium. Whether you like it
or not the program had to be extended so it was of use to amateurs who
used intercoupling of elements as a short cut to approximations of
radiation which foirtunatelly are quite good such that we have become
lazy in poursueing the laws of the Universe on the assumption that
there is no such
thing as a Universal law. I believe there is a universal law and I
will not be detered from that search from the likes of you who
apparently solved all the laws of nature before I started. If nyou got
there then so can I
Have a happy week end and for goodness sake quit the drinking and
savore the World as it is

Terman says that is true of so called super-gain antenns and results in

"The Yagi antenna of Fig.23-39, and the corner reflector, represent

directive gain in a compact antenna array."

When Art proves with numbers that he has bested Terman`s statement I
sure want to hear about it.

Read the statement carefully. It is his opinion not a given fact and
he was very clear about that
and now he is dead! He cannot keep up with the advances of science
such that he can refine his past thinking

Art:
Of course you have lumped elements in your "antenna". You have
a shoebox full of wire, fashoned into contra-wound coils. Also, the
tuning device you described is a variometer, again replete with COILS.
These coils constitute "lumped constants", as you call them.
Mistakes like this show that your equilibrium is tilted.

I merely used Lumped Constants as an example to describe the relationship
between Inductive and Capacitive reactance, resistance, then to go on and
show how it is differently applied to antennas and impedance. *Where to feed
it is exactly the point in providing a transition between the feedline and
antenna. *For example: *Lumped Constants in an antenna tuner not only adjust
reactance by providing the conjugate reactance to whatever is presented at
its input terminals, but also adjusts impedance, akin to adjusting where the
current minima and maxima will be in relation to the tuner's output
terminals. *There are a great many ways to physically do that, either by
linear loading, lumped constants, transmission lines, transitions,
transformers. *Look into the feed methods used for Yagis.

Mike I am not a total newby to antennas. I understand them in my own
way very well.I obviously have a problem in communication
I am changing the dimensional structure purely to get the anti
resonant point at the center of the top band instead of the standard
resonant point
which is too low to realistically to use. Now the antiresonant point
will be between 100 and 200 ohms resistive which allows me to feed it
directly from a 50 ohm transmission line (3/4 andrews) with negligable
losses as the mismatch is resistive. Past work and experimental
results lead me to belive I have a beam for top band with approx 9/10
dbi gain when a reflector is not used. Now who in the World would
throw away the thought of such a antenna because
of the silly aproach of old timers who consider all is known otherwise
they would have changed things a long while ago? The design with all
info will eventually appear on my page. Up to now I have tried to
share everything but old timers on retirement close their minds and
cannot abide change.
If I see from past postings that a dialog could be rewarding I will
respond but they are few and far between. There has not been one
person on this newsgroup over the last few years who is able to look
at a Gaussian field with an applied time varient field and a radiator
and mathematically prove that the results are the same as Maxwell.
True the units are different between Gauss and Maxwell but to deny the
mathematical equivalence without doing the math is unconciousable

An antenna with an input impedance of 150 + j 0 ohms has a reflection
coefficient of 0.5 (50%), a return loss of 6.02 dB, and an SWR of 3:1 to a
50 ohm source. Probably not many transmitters would be happy with that
magnitude of load mismatch.

Do you maintain that the losses defined by these parameters are negligible
to amateur radio operators?

Not when you are in the experimental mode. My output are tubular
and while I am experimenting I am loath to add a transformer.
Must admit I am very surprized at the losses you calculated.
I would have thought it have been about half of that but then I should
have looked it up
instead of relying on the 3/4 andrews keeping things down. For
recording the resistance and capacitance
over a few megerhertz I aam comfortable with what I am doing since
things will change when I take it off the 50 gallon plastic drum.

If a radiator is ferromagnetic it will still create eddy currents but
on a smaller scale than with diamagnetic material as well as the
material being lossier because of the hysteresis. The bottom line is
that the eddy current becomes swamped by the initiating current and
the same goes for the magnetic fields.
Keep the above in mind and then review a tank circuit to see the
implications of the above, I am sure you will be surprised if you are
familiar with the
attributes that a tank circuit has beyond the slosh back and forth.
You should look up wilkpedia for aluminum scrap metal sorting to see
the different
projection angles ( levitation) of the different materials being
sorted into the separate containers. Move beyond non magnetic
stainless steel and the elevation angles change very quickly. As far
as neutrinuos goes you would have to look very hard for a material
that would absorb a non bound free electron I believe it is less than
5% of the materials on Earth that would interfere with the placement
of a free electron which would put it somewhere below 1/2% in termns
of volume. Remember the less the ratio of eddy current the less force
available for spin which would cut out all DXing. Put that bottle down
and get that brain of yours back in order. Why not watch the debate
with a cup of hot tea?
