4 Finite length dipole A finite length dipole is still in the order of a λ, where and a is the thickness of the. However, the length l of the antenna is in the same order of magnitude as the operating wavelength λ < l λ 10 The current distribution is now approximated to a sinusoidal function: I e x, y, z = a z I 0 sin k l z, 0 z l a z I 0 sin k l z, l z 0 Linear Wire Antennas Slide 4

15 Half-Wave Dipole 15

16 Half-Wave Dipole One of the most commonly used antennas. The arms are λ 4 in length and are fed at the center. Radiation Resistance is excellent for transmission line connections: R r = 73 Z in = 73 + j4.5 To get rid of reactance, it is common practice to cut the length until it vanishes. Directivity is also good for omnidirectional terrestrial communications D 0 = 4πU max P rad = =.156 dbi Linear Wire Antennas Slide 16

24 Dipole Examples A λ dipole with its center at the origin radiates a time-averaged power of 600 W. A second λ dipole is placed with its center point at P(r, θ, φ) where r = 00 m, θ = 90, φ = 40. It is oriented so that its axis is parallel to that of the transmitting antenna. What is the available power at the terminals of the second (receiving) dipole? Assume both antennas are lossless and perfectly matched in all unmentioned parameters. Friis Transmission Equation P r = P t λ 4πr U sin 3 (θ) D 0t D 0r Introduction to Antennas Slide 4
