I have given many antenna lectures inthe past and
always
the first stumbling block has been "how does it
radiate". I
did not fully understand the mechanism and none of
the
available analogies such as rotating "smoke rings"
of e/m
energy through any light on the subject..Peters "
vibrating electron discontinuity "is intuitive and is the first really
credible
explanation I have seen. I belive it provides a
valuable insight
into the mechanism of radiation the even I can
understand.
Further his explanation of radiation resistance
provides us with a better understanding of this phenomena. Dont worry about it
being simplistic, all understanding starts with a "graspable"
theory.
I have yet to digest the rest of his article ie
Maxwell etc. but I have no doubt that he will through more light on this
indigestible subject.
Thanks Peter... 73s
