Some notes on transmission line representations of Tesla’s transmitters

In this paper, we present a transmission line representation of various Teslapsilas oscillating transmitters and of propagation based on ldquotrue conductionrdquo, a Teslapsilas concept of non-Hertzian wireless transmission. We follow bits of Teslapsilas papers, mainly ldquoThe True Wirelessrdquo, from which is obvious that his theory is in essence compatible to the transmission line theory, and compare results obtained by the model and those given by Tesla, as well as predict some theoretical characteristics of his resonating coils. Although his conception of a more efficient radio transmission by ldquonon-Hertzian wavesrdquo has never been recognized exactly what he claimed it to be, his concept of radio apparatus prevailed as they were the first patented true radio systems.
