The dipole antenna providing 13 % bandwidth relative to the middle frequency with VSWR lower than 1.15 is presented. Based on the Lorentz's lemma the electrodynamic solution of the boundary problem is found in the paper. Also the principles of developing mathematical and numerical models of the antenna are discussed. The behavior of the rear and imaginary parts of the antenna input impedance and of the standing wave ratio (VSWR) in the feeder in the frequency range, as well as particular qualities of antenna pattern is presented in the paper. The good agreement between the experimental data and the calculated data obtained using a numerical model is shown. It is noted that the antenna is characterized by compactness, mechanical durability and low resistance to airflow. The antenna can be constructed as a tube or as a microstrip implementation.The possibility to provide the antenna matching with the feeder of the predefined impedance of 50 ohms, 75 ohms or another is discussed.
The paper presents the results of studies of an omnidirectional dipole antenna designed for installation on an unmanned aerial vehicle of the mini-UAV category. The antenna forms a cir-cular radiation pattern in the horizontal plane with horizontal polarization of the radiated field. Irregularity of the radiation pattern of the antenna under study in free space in the horizontal plane is ±0.2 dB. The antenna contains a minimum number of elements of the feeder path. It has convenient for practical implementation design
