I could be wrong, but I think QRN is suggesting problems with mobile modeling objects lacking an adequate ground plane in a mobile model. He also suggest there are too many variables to be sure and he questions if straight wires present enough mass (rather than empty space) to represent a solid ground plane like an automobile body does. And I further assume he is alluding to the issue why our mobile model objects are showing a high feed point impedance rather than being closer to 35-36 ohms at the feed point in this case, because he talked about improving the bonding in autos in real life (iRL) will possibly make the match closer to 35 ohms without added losses.


You suggest there is an analogue iRL. To me, this sounds like an important consideration on the subject. You also tell us modelling shows us the same as well. Can you post some details with your modelling that supports this idea so I can be sure I understand your point here?


I also think you are basically telling us that more wires are better in the case of mobile modelling, right?
