The nature of radio waves Question.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of radio waves emitted from two antennas designed to broadcast the same signal but phase-shifted by 180 degrees. The user questions the potential for significant interference and electromagnetic noise at a distance, despite minimal noise detected nearby. They explore the implications of superconductors producing continuous wave signals and ponder the existence of "empty zones" of energy, drawing parallels to gravity. The inquiry seeks expert insights into antenna design, electromagnetic theory, and the relationship between these phenomena and gravity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic theory and wave propagation
  • Familiarity with antenna design principles and phase shifting
  • Knowledge of superconductors and their properties

  • Investigate the concept of electromagnetic noise and its measurement techniques
  • Study the relationship between gravity and electromagnetic fields in theoretical physics
USEFUL FOR

Electromagnetic engineers, antenna designers, physicists, and anyone interested in the advanced concepts of wave propagation and interference in radio communications.

I have a challenging question about electromagnetics.
I presume if two antennas were designed to broadcast the same signal, but were designed somehow be exactly phase shifted by 180 degrees. And the antennas were stationed very close together. So that no electromagentic noise would be detected until very far away.
But once a certian distance were reached, I presume the minor distance between them would account for patches of significant interference and electromagnetic noise of the wave-particle transmission.
Within the theory of radiation and emission laws, I presume the electrons within a good super conductor would produce a nearly continius wave signal. However, if the waves are very close together sothere were no measurable noise for miles, but down the road there was noise; could there be nullified background energy all around us?

Regarding a better question:
It seems that we cannot consider light a wave for there to be no noticible affect for miles, then a staticiy signal. But the real question is how to we quantify the energy between the unusual source and the static? What to we call the empty zones? Do we call it gravity-like?

I need to hear some facts about what would really occur from antenna experts, and electromagnetics experts. I am challeged with this question it seems to require a better understanding of antennas, solidstate, and background interactions than I have.
 
Science news on Phys.org
I just noticed I was talking about an AC capacitor or inductor, and this therby seems to nullify the question; maybe. I'll let it ride because the tips of a capacitor would have this affect. And what, if any, relation to gravity could this have with nullified light all around us?
