Is this
http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_account/stealth_antenna_made_of_gas_impervious_to_jamming
actually of any use? The guys that came
up with it say it is "impervious to jamming" ; huh?
what-the-heck ? This antenna is for the
battlefield? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just aim
searchlights onto your existing antennas and paint
them bright colors? I assume the antenna
will work. The ionized gas in the fluorescent lamp
should work just like a fat wire. But WHY?
Can this actually have some real application other
than an educational demonstration?

Hi wb9jtk,
I took look at the article given
by your web link, in my opinion, it may be used
for some special applications such as transformable
antennae. As we know, there must be certain trade-off
to implement a wideband or multiband antenna due
to the fact that the most antenna structures are
not adaptive to the frequency variety. So if this
kind of antenna can be implemented in a flexible
pipe which form is driven by signal, it may be a
candidate of adaptive antenna.
It is what
I imagined.
