What spacings are you considering? In other words, 6 inch spacing
between wires for a cage would give you approximately the equivalent of
a 7-8 inch diameter cylinder, while 6 inch spacing between wires in the
same plane would give you approximately the equivalent of a 2 foot wide
ribbon. Is that what you want to compare? If so, EZNEC should give you
a pretty good indication of any difference in bandwidth. The trial
version is free, you know.
