Simple Half-Wave Dipole Antenna Analysis for Wireless Applications by CST Microwave Studio

Dipole antenna is very common practical wire antenna. There are several types of dipole antennas such as hartzian dipole, half-wave dipole and small dipole etc. In this paper, a simple half-wave dipole antenna has been designed and analyzed for wireless applications. Resonant frequency for the dipole antenna was 5 GHz and as a simulation tool CST Micro-Wave Studio (MWS) has been used. After that the return loss curve, the VSWR and the far-field radiation patterns of the half-wave dipole antenna have been observed.
