Nov 1, 2019 at 15:58 comment added elbecker When you say a dipole antenna's radiation pattern is the double of a 1/4 wave antenna, does that mean that its radiation pattern has twice the transmit radius of the 1/4 wave? Also, what is the radiation pattern of this antenna? In this case, what is the large conducting plane serving as the ground plane?
