While working on another project, a microwave-frequency early warning radar, in May 1942 Alvarez hit on the idea of using individual dipole antennas instead of slots as the radiating elements.

The antenna is a 1.9 km ( 1.2 mile ) pylons in a line, that function as a capacitive top-load to feed energy to six grounded vertical wire radiating elements.

Similarly, in the power formulation, power can be distributed by generating a set of rays from the radiating element in the same way, and spreading the power to be distributed equally between each element a ray hits.

Connected to the output of an audio amplifier, plasma speakers vary the size of a plasma glow discharge, corona discharge or electric arc which then acts as a massless radiating element, creating the compression waves in air that listeners perceive as sound.
15.
When the transmitter has a waveguide interface, typically rectangular in order to be in single-mode regione at the operating frequency, a dual-polarized antenna with a circular ( or square ) waveguide port is the radiating element chosen for modern communication systems.
16.
The method of moments algorithm has practical limitations as well; the number of calculations required to model a three-dimensional structure of N radiating elements is roughly proportional to the cube of N . Modeling an antenna with 100 wire segments requires 100 3 = 1 million calculations.
17.
Another example of the type as used in mobile communications is " spaced constant turn " in which two or more different linear windings are wound on a single former and spaced so as to provide an efficient balance between capacitance and inductance for the radiating element at a particular resonant frequency.
18.
I Googled and found mention of using quadruple integrals for " determining the interference between elements of a compound array of radiating elements " ( ), but besides some other obvious cases like four-dimensional Euclidean space, I couldn't really find real-life applications of a quadruple Riemann integral.
19.
To maximise power transmission for radio frequency power systems the circuits should be " complex conjugate matched " throughout the power chain, from the transmitter output, through the transmission line ( a balanced pair, a coaxial cable, or a waveguide ), to the antenna " system ", which consists of an impedance matching device and the radiating element ( s ).
