More model informationThe half-wave dipole antenna is one of the easiest antennas to build. It is formed from a conducting element which is half a wavelength at the frequency of operation. Such an antenna emits an omnidirectional radiation pattern.
This representation displays a cross section of a radiation pattern that is at maximum when perpendicular to the conductor (coloured red), falling to zero in the axial direction (coloured blue).
Along the cut plane, the surface shape is clearly visible. Below the same outline is shown in a 2D polar plot.
In this model, the antenna is assumed to be positioned high enough so as not to be affected by the ground.
