Antenna Theory - Half -Wave Dipole
The dipole antenna is cut and bent for effective radiation. The length of the total wire, which is being used as a dipole, equals half of the wavelength (i.e., l = λ/2). Such an antenna is called as half-wave dipole antenna . This is the most widely used antenna because of its advantages. It is also known as Hertz antenna . Frequency range The range of frequency in which half-wave dipole operates is around 3KHz to 300GHz. This is mostly used in radio receivers. Construction & Working of Half-wave Dipole It is a normal dipole antenna, where the frequency of its operation is half of its wavelength . Hence, it is called as half-wave dipole antenna. The edge of the dipole has maximum voltage. This voltage is alternating (AC) in nature. At the positive peak of the voltage, the electrons tend to move in one direction and at the negative peak, the electrons move in the other direction. This can be explained by the figures given below. The figures given above show the work...
