Sorry Jim, but just not so. Krause in volumn 1 specifically proved that
the maximum gain which could be obtained from an antenna ( he used a
simple yagi for his discussion ) is at that point where the seperation
between elements is infinitely small. In such a case, the impedence of
the antenna was infinitely low. He concluded that the only way (
probably
possible with todays semiconductor technology ) to build such an antenna
was to use pure gold elements in a temperature controlled environment
of infinite accuracy to maintain the spacing.
