Mr. Suburban, I haven't assumed anything about the CST model. I have a working relationship with the staff at this company with everyone from marketing to engineering. I've correspond directly with the man that built the model in CST and it's absolutely shown at a current maxima phase angle.

The better question is why does the Vector show currents in the order of a couple of amps per meter while the GM is at fractions of an amp? I don't think amps per meter easily transfers to gain in db without knowing applied power. I also do not think these models were intended to compare gains as much as they are to show current distribution and phase.

CST is a program that I've never seen until these models were given to me. Therefore I'm not sure exactly how it works. I have to assume that this current is referenced to a particular level of RF drive that has not been shown. I do not know if CST uses a fixed value of power or if it's user selected. These could be the variables.
