The Hertzian Dipole

A Hertzian dipole is a thin, linear


conductor whose length l is very
short compared with the
wavelength λ; l should not exceed
λ/50.

This restriction allows us to treat


the current along the length of the
conductor as constant, even though
it has to decay to zero at the ends of
the wire.

Hertzian Dipole—Far-Field Approximation

Normalized Radiation Intensity
Electric and Magnetic Fields Normalized Radiation Intensity

The directional pattern of any


antenna is described in terms
of the normalized radiation
Average Power Density intensity F(θ,φ), defined as
(the time-average Poynting vector of the radiated wave) the ratio of the power density
S(R, θ, φ) at a specified range
R to Smax, the maximum
value of S(R, θ, φ) at the
same range.
Radiation Pattern of Hertzian Dipole
3D propagation pattern of an
electric dipole (antenna). In
addition to the radiation
pattern, we also project the
transversal and vertical planes
of the propagation pattern and
actually show how the waves
would be propagating in
different planes.

Basically, along the transversal


plane, the radiation is isotropic
and circular. But along the
vertical direction, there is null
of the propagation pattern
along the direction of the
dipole.
