What is a disadvantage of decreasing the number of wire segments in an antenna model below 10 segments per half-wavelength?

AnswerThe computed feed point impedance may be incorrect

Using fewer than about ten segments per half-wavelength can make the numerical representation too coarse and produce inaccurate feed-point impedance.
