  • The Infinitesimal Dipole - Radiation Pattern, Directivity and all that

    the radiation pattern of an infinitesimal dipoleIn this problem we first investigate the radiation properties of a very short and thin filament of current. Although this filament of current as an antenna is not physically realizable, as a mathematical model it will help us to understand the general behavior of antennas. Here we also introduce some of the fundamental antenna parameters.
