Question 529

Which of the following describes an extended double Zepp antenna?

  1. An end-fed full-wave dipole antenna
  2. A center-fed 1.5-wavelength dipole antenna
  3. A center-fed 1.25-wavelength dipole antennaCorrect answer
  4. An end-fed 2-wavelength dipole antenna

Explanation

An extended double Zepp is a center-fed wire nominally about 1.25 wavelengths long, so each half is roughly 0.625 wavelength. That sits just under the theoretical optimum of about 0.64 wavelength per side, the point beyond which the broadside lobe splits in two, and the antenna yields roughly 3 dB more broadside gain than a half-wave dipole.
