Antenna Theory #08 | Dipole Far-Field Solution | Short Dipole Radiation

Instructor: Dr. Süleyman Burak ÇELİK

This lesson derives the far-field solution for the short dipole from first principles. We start from the magnetic vector potential, apply the far-field approximation developed in the previous lesson, and extract the electric and magnetic field components. The result reveals the characteristic sin(theta) radiation pattern and lets us compute the radiation resistance of a short dipole. Every intermediate step is shown so the derivation can be followed without skipping any algebra.
