Abstract :
The method of Hallen as modified by King and Middleton is applied to the case of the receiving dipole antenna whose axis is parallel to the electric vector of a far-zone field. First-order formulas are given for gain and broadside back-scattering cross section. Measured values of broadside gain and of broadside back-scattering cross section for both unloaded and matched-loaded dipoles are compared with the theory.
