Dipole Antenna Radiation Pattern

This Demonstration plots the normalized E-radiation pattern of a center-fed linear dipole antenna with sinusoidal current distribution on the axis. Three of the sides of the cube correspond to intersections with the coordinate planes. There is a one-to-one correspondence between , , and the colors red, green, blue. The length/wavelength (Lpwl) of the dipole ranges from 0.1 to 10 in steps of 0.1. The default 3D evaluation is done at every 3°. 2D evaluation is always carried out at 1°. A small delay may be needed to get a smooth overall picture.
