DI POLE ANTENNA

A dipole antenna commonly consists of two

identical conductive elements such as

metal wires or rods. The driving current

from the transmitter is applied, or for

receiving antennas the output signal to the

receiver is taken, between the two halves

of the antenna.

Each side of the feedline to the transmitter

or receiver is connected to one of the

conductors. A common example of a dipole

is the "rabbit ears" television antenna

found on broadcast television sets.
