[NJARC] Antenna Physics

[Rob Flory]

My point is that in general, antenna physics was well understood in the teens and twenties.  The wave antenna was just one application of the physics to a particular case.

I doubt that the 1933 book in question added anything new to the science.

>However there is a very unique factor with "wave" antennas which are not associated with a more common tuned antenna and that is the wave tilt is formed by the velocity factor difference in the wire to the earth closely spaced beneath it. That is not an effect which is in play with a more typical antenna. The wave angle of those are formed by reflection from ground and the pattern from the array configuration.  So Beverages studies were quite valuable but also quite unique to the "wave" antenna.
