A folded dipole is an antenna, with two conductors connected on both sides, and folded to form a cylindrical closed shape, to which feed is given at the center. The length of the dipole is half of the wavelength. Hence, it is called as half wave folded dipole antenna . Frequency range The range of frequency in which half wave folded dipole operates is around 3KHz to 300GHz. This is mostly used in television receivers. Construction & Working of Half-wave Folded Dipole This antenna is commonly used with the array type antennas to increase the feed resistance. The most commonly used one is with Yagi-Uda antenna. The following figure shows a half-wave folded dipole antenna. This antenna uses an extra conducting element (a wire or a rod) when compared with previous dipole antenna. This is continued by placing few conducting elements in parallel, with insulation in-between, in array type of antennas. The following figure explains the working of a half-wave folded dipole antenna, whe...
