Slightly off-topic for TT but beg your forebearance: I am really curious to know if anyone has ever tried phasing half squares as a pair of driven elements. What would the results be at 1/8 wavelength and/or 1/4 wavelength separation? I tried to model this with NEC but apparently I'm doing something wrong as I get no results, just a lot of whirring from the hard disk and a blank stare from the screen. Neither 0 degree nor 90 degree phasing inputs on a pair of half squares generated any solution.
Using a pair of half squares in a parasitic array is also of great interest to me. Again, NEC modeling fails. Probably an operator problem, but there it is. What happens at 1/8 wavelength spacing? 1/4?
Anybody else's curiousity piqued?
thanks in advance,
Peter, W2CDO
