Antenna & Wave PropagationDipole Antennas

A vertically oriented half-wave dipole ideally produces what polarization in its broadside direction?

  • AVertical linear polarization
  • BHorizontal linear polarization
  • CCircular polarization automatically
  • DUnpolarized radiation
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Vertical linear polarization
Explanation: The electric field of a thin dipole is oriented parallel to the dipole axis, giving vertical linear polarization for a vertical dipole.
Reference: Standard antenna and wave propagation: dipole antennas
