Bob, I did a vertical sleeved dipole below to check the tune and how broad band it was vs a simple dipole and found the CFSD had a <2.00:1 bandwidth of 2 mhz  vs 1.6 mhz over a simple dipole...so Eznec shows what Barkley was looking for, an increase in bandwidth, with little change in the match. This is why I though Barkley's idea was about matching.


The model produced a minimal change in the resonant match, and a little loss in gain too.
