I modeled a structure in MWS - parallel plate transmission line shorted from both ends.
I contemplated using it as a radiator.
I can match such structure to 50 Ohm but model shows low Radiating Efficiency.
How can this be if I use Perfect Electrical Conductor in Free Space?
(I used to think that Radiating Efficiency less then 1 is result of energy loss due to finite conductivity of radiator and losses in dielectrics. My model have none. Where the energy goes?)
