Antenna & Wave PropagationDipole Antennas

The radiation pattern of an ideal half-wave dipole has maximum radiation in directions?

  • AAlong the dipole axis
  • BPerpendicular to the dipole axis
  • COnly at 45 degrees to the axis
  • DEqually in every direction
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. Perpendicular to the dipole axis
Explanation: A thin half-wave dipole has maximum radiation broadside to its axis and nulls along the axis.
Reference: Standard antenna and wave propagation: dipole antennas
