Lecture14 PDF

This document discusses the properties of a half-wave dipole antenna. It provides the far-field expressions for the electric and magnetic fields of a center-fed half-wave dipole. It also gives equations for the radiation intensity pattern, radiated power, radiation resistance, directivity, and maximum effective aperture of a half-wave dipole antenna. Key features highlighted include that the radiated power can be expressed in terms of the radiation resistance, and the directivity and maximum effective aperture are calculated to be 1.643 and 0.13λ2, respectively.
