These signals were measured at 9 and 21 cm from the source (12-cm spatial separation). 37 ns. , 1999). Could it be that the two-point measurement procedure does not determine the velocity? Yet, this procedure represents the very definition of velocity. The resolution of this puzzle can be found in the classic radiation formula relating the current in the source and the field at the receiver. 3.
