This work provides design and analysis of a dipole antenna whose height is reduced. Any Dipole antenna can be designed with λ/2 height. A half wave dipole is formed with ‘λ/2’ height to get desirable characteristics of dipole antenna. Minimizing antenna height is always a desirable in antenna design. Hence, an attempt is made in this work to reduce the height of a dipole and as an application, Yagi-Uda antenna is constructed using this reduced dipole and optimized for better gain. The results are discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
