Half-Wave Dipole Antenna
Half-wave dipole antennas revolutionized radio by perfectly matching antenna length to signal wavelength
5 hours ago
0
Why is the length of a half-wave dipole antenna set to half the wavelength of the target frequency?
To minimize the physical size of the antenna regardless of frequency
Because it requires a ground plane to function properly
To create resonance that maximizes signal radiation and reception efficiency

Why does frequency modulation provide clearer audio signals compared to amplitude modulation?
Because it encodes information in frequency changes, making it less susceptible to noise.
Because it uses higher power signals that overpower noise.
Because it changes the amplitude of the carrier wave to avoid interference.

Short Dipole Antenna
Tiny antennas pack a punch by mimicking ideal dipole radiation despite their size
4 days ago
0
Why does a short dipole antenna have low radiation resistance, and how is this typically addressed in antenna design?
Because the antenna is short, it naturally has high radiation resistance, so no modifications are needed.
Short dipole antennas have low radiation resistance because they are made of poor conductive materials, which is fixed by using better metals.
Because the antenna is much shorter than the wavelength, the current distribution is nearly uniform, resulting in low radiation resistance; designers use loading coils or capacitive hats to improve efficiency.
