Why Dipole Antennas Are A Half Wave Long?
Why Dipole Antennas Are A Half Wave Long? The fundamental resonance of a thin linear conductor occurs at a frequency whose free-space wavelength is twice the wire’s length, i.e. where the conductor is 1/2 wavelength long. Dipole antennas are frequently used at around that frequency and thus termed half-wave dipole antennas. Why are antennas half
