This document discusses different types of linear wire antennas, including infinitesimal dipoles, short dipoles, half wave dipoles, and folded dipoles. It notes that half wave dipoles are the most commonly used as their length is half the wavelength, making them well matched to transmission lines for simplified impedance matching. The document also provides an overview of radiated fields and directivity of various antenna types.

Overview Infinitesimal dipole Radiated field . . Directivity Small dipole Radiated field Finite length dipole Half wave length dipole antenna • The most commonly used antenna • Its length is half the wave length • Radiation resistance is 73 ohm near 75 ohm for radiation resistance of transmission lines • So its matching to the line is simplified Types of wire antenna
