152. Radiation of Full-Wavelength Antenna

The radiation from a full-wavelength antenna diminishes almost completely at a remote distance if the antenna is center-fed and equipped with a balun. The addition of balun ensures anti-symmetry in voltage distribution and symmetry in current distribution around the feed point.

The electric field from the voltage distribution is nearly zero due to anti-symmetry. The  magnetic field from the current distribution is nearly zero due to reversal in each wire. The overall radiation is almost null which is not the prediction from Maxwell's equations.

Electric field outside the conductor should be calculated from Coulomb's law instead of Faraday's law which describes voltage and electric current in the conductor, not electric field in the vacuum.
