Part 4 – Antennas, Counterpoise and “The Law”: Antenna Impedance vs. Feedpoint Impedance

In the context of understanding and optimizing antenna systems we’ve been following the voltage and current paths of RF in two basic reference antenna types – the half-wave […]

Part 3 – Antennas, Counterpoise and “The Law”: The LESS Than ‘Legal’ Antenna

Once, *IF*, we realize that the resonant wave pattern of an antenna is responsible for balanced, equal current transfer from one part of our radio-to-feedline, feedline-to-antenna, antenna-to-feedline, feedline-to-radio […]

Part 1 – Antennas, Counterpoise and “The Law”: Current In Must = Current Out – Kirchoff’s Law and RF/Antennas

In a *very* casual way Kirchoff’s Law is the “what goes up must come down” rule of electronics – for a complete circuit to be complete, the current […]
