Radiation pattern of monopole antenna 0.5 wavelength long

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Three dimensional far field radiation pattern of 0.6 wavelength vertical monopole antenna over a perfectly conducting infinite ground plane. Below 0.5 wavelength, the pattern has a single donut-shaped lobe with maximum radiation in horizontal directions, but above it the lobe splits into a horizontal lobe and a small conical lobe directed at 60° elevation into the sky, as seen here. The graph is axially symmetric about the antenna's vertical axis, and is resting on the ground plane. The origin of the coordinates is where the axis intersects the ground plane. The distance of the surface from the origin in any direction is proportional to the magnitude of the electric field (signal strength) radiated in that direction. From dipole equation in Balanis, 2005, Antenna Theory 3rd Ed. p.172, eq. 4-62a
