A centre-fed half-wave dipole has two conductor halves. Together they are approximately half a wavelength long; actual dimensions depend on construction and surroundings.

A centre-fed half-wave dipole has two equal arms.

Overall length and both arms of a centre-fed dipole.

A centre-fed half-wave dipole has two approximately equal arms.

From purpose through dipole and groundplane to a reasoned design. With drawings, prepared calculations and six knowledge checks.

dBd references an ideal half-wave dipole.

EIRP references an isotropic radiator; ERP references a half-wave dipole.

Plan a centre-fed dipole as a learning example for 145 MHz with k = 0.95.

At the same frequency and factor, calculated radiator length is approximately one dipole arm.

The 2 m dipole: from calculation to measurement.

A horizontal dipole and a vertical radiator are therefore not simply interchangeable.

A geometric half-wave dipole is about half a wavelength long.
