Assignment 1

1. The document discusses electric and magnetic field calculations for various dipole antenna configurations. It provides equations for the electric field of an infinitesimal dipole antenna and the far-field electric field of a thin finite length dipole with a sinusoidal current distribution. 2. It also gives the closed-form equation for the power radiated by a half-wave dipole antenna and provides the radiation intensity equation of a finite length dipole antenna. 3. The document asks the reader to plot the 2D and 3D radiation patterns of a finite dipole antenna using Matlab and observe how the main lobe changes with increasing dipole length. It also asks the reader to calculate the length of a dip
