What is a folded dipole?

  • A.Two dipoles stacked one above the other and fed in phase
  • B.Two parallel conductors joined at the ends and fed at one centre
  • C.A dipole bent through ninety degrees at its centre
  • D.A dipole whose ends are turned back to shorten it

Answer: B

The folded dipole is a loop of two closely spaced parallel wires, one broken at its centre for the feed, and it behaves as a dipole with four times the input impedance. The extra conductor also widens the bandwidth appreciably. Bending an element changes the pattern, turning the ends back is a shortening technique, and stacking is an array arrangement. The folded form is the standard driven element in Yagi arrays for exactly the impedance reason.
