Okay, after reading about the E and H plane, and looking at your previous post, I just have a couple more clarification questions...


It looks like the E plane and H plane are on a 90 degree axis of each other.

Is that in fact the case, or is it radiating not on a axis but instead all around the antenna.


Also when the radiation hits the end of the conductor (antenna) what happens? Does the radiation pattern continue straight upward, or does it return back into the transmitter if it is not at the 90, 180,270,360 degree point? ( I was under the impression that this was what contributed to SWR, the returning of wave energy)
