What is a disadvantage of decreasing the number of wire segments in an antenna model below 10 segments per half-wavelength?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. The computed feed point impedance may be incorrect
Too few segments gives a coarse model of the current distribution. The computed feed point impedance may then be wrong.
Tip: Too few segments, wrong impedance.
