Hertzian Radiation, (better known
as radio-waves) : what it is and how it happens
by Francesco Errante
Simplification is the main rule in the
observation and understanding of physical phenomena. Simplification, though, must not
be confused with a simplistic approach and it may require the development of
tailor-made tools and technology which can them-selves be far from being simple.
The ½ of a wavelength open dipole antenna, since its birth, has always been
considered to be the most simple available antenna and therefore it has always been
the specimen on which to conduct studies. Those studies, however, were ill at birth
as the open dipole is not an aerial as simple as it looks. In addition,
having considered the open dipole an "elementary antenna" has shifted the
focus of those studies away from its essence and into its properties and its effects.
Consequentially, the theories about its intimate functioning are flawed and are
responsible for a number of further well radicated misconceptions. Moreover, this has
prevented from establishing how the hertzian radiation takes place.
By means of a particular radio-electric circuitry for the
suppression of anyone of the two branches of a ½ of wavelength open dipole, I
have demonstrated, once and for all, that the open dipole is not an
elementary antenna (by definition an elementary antenna is an aerial where
the condition of resonance and radiation cannot take place without the presence of
all its parts) but it is, instead, an "elementary array" of 2 elements, of a
physical length equal to ¼ of a wavelength each, which are electrically arranged in a
counterphase, while being fed in the middle of them.
Once it has been established that the focus should be placed on the behavior of a
single element of physical length equal to ¼ of wavelength, further research has
allowed me to come up with a truly "elementary
radiator" to further distinguish between the source of the radio-electric
signal and the actual radiator.
The elementary radiator, infact, comprises a radio-electric circuitry and a
¼ of wavelength radiator which can be easily detached and substituted by a 150 Ohm
dummy load, in order to conduct RF measurement on the circuitry alone, while
radio-scopic observations of the actual radiator emissions can be carried out by
means of a particular detector.
I have carried out several non-intrusive radio-scopic measurements on the radiator
over the full spectrum of the shortwaves, anywhere between 1 and 30 MHz with an RF
power ranging from 100 mW to several kilowatts and I can now affirm that the
mechanism by which radiation takes place is completely different from what the
current belief is.
The observation I have made, clearly show that by injecting a radio-electric signal
into a properly resonant radiator, the latter will always radiate energy as
radio waves, starting from the point which is always opposite to the point of feeding.
The detector, also, shows that the bulk of the energy is always radiated by the
region towards the end of the radiator.
This leads to reasonably affirm that hertzian radiation takes place whenever
charges belonging to a first wavefront having run along the radiator up to its end,
return backwards and hit a new forthcoming wavefront giving origin to a scattering of
particles. As it is impossible for the new particles to travel faster then light the
particles will acquire more mass instead. (if particles could travel faster
then light, their emission would, inevitably, end-up generating shorter wavelength
radio signals) This mechanism is a form of controlled or limited standing
wave regime, if it happens within the length of the radiator then we have
resonance, if it exceeds the length of the radiator we have a random
standing wave regime with less or no radiation.
The physical mechanism, responsible for the generation of the hertzian
radiation is, therefore, different from what was previously thought and accepted
as true. In the light of this findings, it can be affirmed that there is no
such a thing as an electromagnetic traveling wave nor there can be an electromagnetic
fields in the far space. There are, instead, photonic variable emissions (radio
waves) that can induce electric effects onto the matter, which in turn can - but not
necessarily - produce magnetic effects with the same frequency.
 Please, take a look at our new all-in-one apparatus
for the physics of the hertzian radiation and the radio-electric transducers.
