An electrically small, efficient electromagnetic structure, that may be used as an antenna or waveguide probe, having an electromagnetically closed, velocity-inhibiting conducting path, for supporting a standing, inhibited-velocity wave in response to the flow of an electrical current through the path and a process for establishing the standing wave. Use of the structure is particularly advantageous at the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum, where various embodiments produce purely vertically polarized radiation in directional and omnidirectional patterns. Various embodiments of the structure include multiple conducting paths and image means to complete the conducting path. Embodiments of the structure may be used to excite the earth-ionosphere cavity at the Schumann resonances.
