What is the effective length of a short dipole compared with its physical length?
Answer: A
Because the current tapers from a maximum at the feed to zero at each end, the average is half the peak and the effective length is half the physical length. For a half wave dipole the sinusoidal distribution gives an effective length of lambda over pi, about 0.32 wavelengths against a physical 0.5. The quantity matters because it converts an incident field strength into a terminal voltage, which is the basis of every field strength measurement that is ever made.
