Uloss=12[εoE2cos2(θ){1−(εaεo)2}+μoB2sin2(θ){1−(μoμa)2}]
∂Uloss∂θ=12sin(2θ)[μoB2{1−(μoμa)2}−εoE2{1−(εaεo)2}]
∂2Uloss∂θ2=cos(2θ)[μoB2{1−(μoμa)2}−εoE2{1−(εaεo)2}]
when θ=90o, ∂Uloss∂θ=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)2−1}−μoB2{(μoμa)2−1}
for minimum loss,
μoB2{(μoμa)2−1}>εoE2{(εaεo)2−1}
B2>εoμoE2{(εaεo)2−1}{(μoμa)2−1}
such that over all,
∂2Uloss∂θ2>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=−4πc2∂je∂t
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.
