Dipole Antennas

Dipole Antennas Manufacturer

C&T RF Antennas Inc is the internal & external dipole antennas manufacturer in China.

What is a dipole antenna?

The dipole is the simplest type of antenna from a theoretical point of view. Most commonly it consists of two conductors of equal length oriented end-to-end with the feedline connected between them. Dipoles are frequently used as resonant antennas.

The dipole antenna or dipole aerial is one of the most fundamental antenna elements being used for broadcasting, radio reception, two-way radio communications, and much more.

The dipole antenna or dipole aerial is one of the most important forms of RF antenna. The dipole can be used on its own, or it can form part of a more complicated antenna array.

The dipole aerial or antenna is widely used for a variety of types of radio communication, on its own, or incorporated into many other RF antenna designs where it forms the radiating or driven element for the overall antenna.

The dipole is relatively simple in its basic implementation and many of the basic calculations are quite straightforward. It is easy to design a basic dipole antenna that will operate on the HF, VHF, UHF, GPS, GSM, GNSS, Wifi Wireless WLAN, 3G 4G 5G LTE sections of the radio frequency spectrum.

Dipole types

Half-wave dipole antenna:

The half-wave dipole antenna is the one that is most widely used. This type of dipole antenna is resonant, operating at a point where it is an electrical half-wavelength long.

Folded dipole antenna:

As the name implies this form of the dipole aerial or dipole antenna is folded back on itself.

Short dipole:

As the name implies, the short dipole antenna is one where the length is much shorter than that of half a wavelength.

Non-resonant dipole:

A dipole antenna may be operated away from its resonant frequency and fed with a high impedance feeder. This enables it to operate over a much wider bandwidth.

Dipole antenna applications

Dipole antennas are used in many areas, both on their own and as part of more complicated antennas where they can form the main radiating element. They are used in many forms of radio systems from two-way radio communications links to broadcasting broadcast reception, general radio reception, and very many more areas.

The dipole construction will depend upon the frequency, and also the way in which it will be used.

The dipole antenna is a particularly important form of RF antenna which is very widely used for radio transmitting and receiving applications. The dipole is often used on its own as an RF antenna, but it also forms the essential element in many other types of RF antenna. As such it is possibly the most important form of RF antenna.
