Narrow beams are focused by the shape of the antenna ..
Know all that; and antenna size is proportional to wavelength, and the number of wavelengths across the 'face' of the antenna determines the beamwidth et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

The rest of your answer is pretty much textbook that I can find myself, but thanks anyway.

And, resistance-wire plug wires are no panacea; I perceive you must not be 'active' in the field you pontificate on otherwise YWKT (you would know this).

Some piston-powered aircraft have in the past used actual shielded-line plug wires to accomplish near-zero EMI from their plug wires. I have tried this BUT it is impractical! (The hard part I had was coming up with the structure of the shield around the distributor, shielding the lines to the plugs was easy!)

So, thanks for your time, but please, in the future I know (and have done) the 'basic' stuff.

No problem professor, but I was under the impression this discussion was about production cars. Maybe you assume the rational intellect quotient of idiots who run from the cops is equal to a Master in physics but rudementary IQ observations at the local hooskow have proven otherwise. If they’re in an airplane the solution is simple, either a Stinger or a Sidewinder works efficiently.
