French term or phrase: brin rayonnant
Hi all.

Have been stuck on this term for a while. It's in the context of the earth connection for an antenna system.

I'd be grateful for any help.

radiating wire / element
Explanation:
to start the ball rolling. Termium gives "wire" and a WIPO file found gives "element". Hope it helps.
