I. I NTRODUCTION
The J-pole antenna is a half-wave, asymmetrically fed,
dipole antenna having omnidirectional radiation pattern [1].
In this configuration, the conventional end fed antenna is ele-
vated at least 1/4 wavelength above ground, thus eliminating (a) (b)

Conclusively, the directivity of the J-pole antenna is found
to be,

From the above analysis, we can deduce that the directivity
of a half-wave J-pole antenna is slightly higher than that of a
half-wave center-fed dipole antenna for which the directivity
is 1.76dB. This gives the designer of antenna a clear
advantage over traditional half-wavelength dipole antenna.

III. C ONCLUSION
The analytical model is presented for a half wave end
fed J-pole antenna having sinusoidal current distribution. It
is found from the analysis that the directive gain pattern
and the radiation resistance of a half wave J-pole antenna is
similar to that of a conventional center fed dipole antenna,
but the directivity is slightly higher. Therefore it can be used
as an alternative of an asymmetrically fed dipole antenna.
