Dipole Input Impedance Over Frequency — Lesson 2

This lesson discusses the variation in input impedance that is seen at the feed of a dipole antenna as the driving frequency changes. We will see that the antenna experiences a resonance — an input impedance with zero reactance — at approximately the frequency where its length is equal to half a wavelength, as well as at integer multiples of this frequency. The real part of the input impedance also varies with respect to frequency. We will look at the equations that describe this variation along with several illustrative plots.
