Antenna to Dump Excess Energy?

So, I was reading about this and playing around with a spacecraft design. From what I understand of it, a good way to be able to generate this field is with magnetic fields. So, I said let's put a large antimatter powerplant on the craft, and use that energy to generate the magnetic field with superconductors to get our tensor geometry set up (for the positive tensor portion).

Here's my classical physics question, though: To turn this "warp drive" off, we'll need to dump tremendous amounts of energy that's been stored in superconducting field magnets and capacitors.

Would dumping the energy out of a directional antenna be an effective way to do that (directional so as to not shower our spacecraft with an enormous torrent of unwanted power, though perhaps longer wavelengths would be harmless to any/all spacecraft systems? Though also less efficient at dumping energy...)? Could an emitter have an exceedingly low (possibly zero?) resistance if the antenna is superconducting?
