This a MATLAB based program that computes the:

I. Maximum directivity (dimensionless and in dB)

II. Radiation resistance (Rr)

III. Input resistance (Rin)

IV. Reactance relative to current maximum (Xm)

V. Input reactance (Xin)

VI. Normalized current distribution

VII. Directivity pattern (in dB) in polar form

VIII.Normalized far-field amplitude pattern (E-theta, in dB) in polar form

for a symmetrical dipole of finite length. The dipole is radiating

in free space.



The directivity, resistances and resistances are calculated using the trailing

edge method in increments of 1 degree in theta.
