Barry,
Given your premise that the observed current taper equals radiation, and
assuming that 1500 watts into the average antenna coil neither melts it, nor
radiates light, then it must be radiated as baseband... Correct?
So, as part of your article I would expect (if I were a referee reviewing your
paper) that you would also remove the vertical radiator portions above and
below the coil, replace them with a parallel capacitor across the coil and
measure the current taper and the radiated field strength... If your premise is
that the EM field contained in an inductor is not as conserved as previously
thought, then a parallel tuned circuit, minus the radiating whip, should result
in radiation consistent with the observed current taper minus heating losses...
Correct?
The other item I would consider essential, as a referee, would be the placement
of the tuned coil into a calorimeter bomb, and a measurement of the developed
heat, so that we can quantify how much radiation is baseband, and how much is
IR loss..
Assuming I understand what has been said...
Be aware that a published article/book challenging what is considered to be
established physics. is tantamount to a double dare... Expect to be thumped
roundly about the head and shoulders by critics...
Cheers ... Denny
