Abstract :
The full-wave-dipole antenna is very seldom used in communication systems, and yet this type of antenna offers a very high gain. This is due to the high input impedance for the center-tap feeding-point antenna. The analysis of short-length and half-wavelength dipole antennas has been reported, in great detail previously, in texts. However, an analysis of the full-wave dipole antenna has not been detailed nor reported, either in texts or journals. Such an analysis is very significant, in order to understand more about this antenna´s properties and potential applications for exploiting its high-gain benefits. The paper presents an analysis of the radiation resistance and gain of the full-wave-dipole antenna. This involves special integrations in the mathematics.<>
