It appears that eznec is only displaying the main radiator current. I wanted to see the whole eznec model to see if it's showing inverted phase from that pink line in the cone to the pink current line on the top 1/2 wave.

I know what you mean about the current peak appearing to be at the center of the cone in the cst model, but I think that's just the after-peak image of the current declining as it moves down the cone toward it's opposite phase.

In the cst it appears to peak bloom at the top of the cone in phase with the middle of the top 1/2 wave bloom, energy which would not be there due at all to the top 1/2 wave since it's voltage node is at that point where the ring surrounds the main radiator and should show null if it was radiating by itself, without additive current from the cone.

...but how does it get there? :headbang

[QUOTE="Needle Bender, post: 385174, member: 13339"] It appears that eznec is only displaying the main radiator current. I wanted to see the whole eznec model to see if it's showing inverted phase from that pink line in the cone to the pink current line on the top 1/2 wave. I know what you mean about the current peak [I]appearing[/I] to be at the center of the cone in the cst model, but I think that's just the after-peak image of the current declining as it moves down the cone toward it's opposite phase. In the cst it appears to peak bloom at the top of the cone [B]in phase [/B]with the middle of the top 1/2 wave bloom, energy which would not be there due at all to the top 1/2 wave since it's voltage node is at that point where the ring surrounds the main radiator and should show null if it was radiating by itself, without additive current from the cone. ...but how does it get there? :headbang [/QUOTE]
