Sub 1% accuracy?  Are we talking real world or fignewtons of someone's 
overactive imagination? Stray effects in real antennas, especially those 
built and installed with finite budgets, are going to skew their behavior 
for a lot more than 1%. Among the variables are the nature, proximity, and 
slope of the earth below the antenna, the nature and geometry of 
surrounding objects, and the geometry and characteristics of the elements 
of the antenna itself.
