Abstract :
The use of a simple trigonometric series to approximate the current distribution on isolated center-fed dipole antennas has been found to give accurate results. Unilike iterative and numerical solutions, the functional form of the approximate distribution permits the simple computation of the axial electric fields and radiating properties of the dipole.
