Yes, and that's why I did not include any losses. But when
looking at the far-field pattern for both models it looks to me
that the two-wire model has (far) better performance than the
1-wire model.

For as far as I know, two models without any losses the area
(or should I say the volume) occupied by both the far-field
patterns should be the same. Even if one antenne is a single
element antenne 0.001 wl and the other is a full-size 1/2 wl dipole.

But when looking at both my models this does seem to be
true. (or maybe I am getting a bit blind...)

Arie.
