http://www.antenna-theory.com presents the analysis of the dipole antenna! The short dipole is discussed first, followed by the half-wave dipole antenna, and finally the general dipole antenna. The bandwidth, polarization and impedance are discussed. For more information, see http://www.antenna-theory.com/antennas/dipole.php
Excellent video. I have many antennas over the years and currently I was thinking about getting a Dipole.

Excellent Dipole analysis! I've already built one for 20 meters. It is about 65 feet in length (half wave resonant at 40 and full wave at 20) and have talked all over the world on it on 40, 20, 15, 10, and 6 meters with 100 Watts. It also works on 80 meters. I am using a MFJ 969 Antenna Tuner. By your analysis it should not work on 20 meters, since it's (approx) full wave resonant there. Any thoughts? It may be the 300 Ohm twin lead I'm feeding it with has some positive effect?

Thanks for taking the time to present this information.
I was lucky enough to work in telecom (analog/digital radios/muxes/switches) when you still had to kind of know what you were doing just to setup the test equipment properly. The computerized stuff started showing up (no more tweakers..yawn) and the fait accompli was the shift to on/off keyed lasers that a child could setup. Bored to tears I moved into management for something different (it was that ;-)
Thanks again...very good stuff!
