So, So, So, What! Oops.

From the post "So, So, So, What?"  A flat antenna has low loss,

Uloss=12[εoE2cos2(θ){1(εaεo)2}+μoB2sin2(θ){1(μoμa)2}]

Ulossθ=12sin(2θ)[μoB2{1(μoμa)2}εoE2{1(εaεo)2}]

2Ulossθ2=cos(2θ)[μoB2{1(μoμa)2}εoE2{1(εaεo)2}]

when  θ=90o, Ulossθ=0  and cos(2θ)=1.  The term from the second derivative,

μoB2{1(μoμa)2}εoE2{1(εaεo)2}

can determines whether it is maximum or minimum loss.

For copper,

εaεo

μoμa=1/0.999994= 1.000006

This term simplifies to

εoE2{(εaεo)21}μoB2{(μoμa)21}

for minimum loss,

μoB2{(μoμa)21}>εoE2{(εaεo)21}

B2>εoμoE2{(εaεo)21}{(μoμa)21}

such that over all,

2Ulossθ2>0

In general,

εoμo=(cεo)2= (299792458*8.8541878176e-12)^2 = 7.046e-6

which makes the inequality possible even without  B  very large.  Any material with a relative permittivity greater than one, but a relative permeability less than one (diamagnetic), graphite and sealed mercury, are suitable as flat antenna material.  (Sliver is not suitable because of its high permittivity which would require a high B.)

A coil is a flat antenna.  And from the post "The Third Wave",

×Y=4πc2jet

je  set off  a wave perpendicular to the direction of  Y.


And the loss of this type of antenna,

Uloss=μoB2sin2(θ){1(μoμa)2}

since,

1(μoμa)2<0

we have a small gain.

Why forgone the gain from the term

1(εaεo)2?

Because a high  E  will give you cancer.  In practice, whether such an antenna will be effective is speculative.  Try else never know.
