Abstract :
This paper presents the radiation characteristics of a full-wavelength dipole obtained by simulation. It will be shown that a full-wavelength dipole changes the radiation pattern from a single lobe to split lobes according to the offset of a feed point. With a reflector in proximity to a dipole, the radiation pattern is split and has a null at the boresight for even small offset of 0.02λ.
