Dipole antennas are also known as linear wire antennas. Dipoles are balanced antennas and are the most fundamental form of antennas. A standard dipole antenna has an omnidirectional radiation pattern. Dipole antennas are used in various applications such as in phased arrays and feeding sources to larger antennas.

Featured Examples

Modeling Wire Antenna and Arrays

Model V-dipole wire antennas and arrays using the wire basis function wirestack. This workflow eliminates the wire to strip approximation or the strip basis function you need to perform when converting strip structures to wire antennas. You can also use this workflow to model all the antenna elements from the dipole and loop antenna catalog families.
