You're demonstrating a basic lack of understanding of Fourier analysis. Fourier used the sine function as a basis function. That doesn't mean there are sine waves "in" the pulse. If he had used some other set of basis functions, would that "prove" that those other bases were present in the pulse?
Don't get me wrong -- I'm ok with you saying there's RF energy in the pulse, but not with your extrapolation to "RF sine waves." We're talking about impulses here.
Why
The radios are responding to the pulses. Fourier series are a useful way to analyze the response. But the radio is essentially a filter that alters the signal it sees. It's not locking on to some RF sine wave as you seem to think.
An example that demonstrates the RF nature of
Sure -- put numbers to it. But show your work.
Why is impedance so much larger than the
Huh? Have you seen those videos of (as I recall) DC arcs in high voltage transmission tests that are floating around the Web?
That's why I asked you for risetime numbers. Show your work. What fraction of the energy is in the MHz range?
Using DC analysis to explain lightning means that
I haven't noticed anyone here advocating the use of DC analysis per se, so that's a red herring.
Lightning has massive energy in radio
Think pulse.
Who's that addressed to? I never said lightning is only DC. I did say you haven't established it's "AC [or RF] sine waves."
