Simplest and most widely used class of antenna. It consists of two identical conductive elements such as metal wires or rods, which are usually bilaterally symmetrical.

Let’s Talk About Magnetic Field Antennas
Besides using magnetic loop antennas for compliance tests in strict accordance with standards, they can be used for engineering design and pre-compliance work.
Sleeve Dipole Antenna Design and Build
This article describes a practical approach to the design and build of a sleeve dipole antenna mandated by a custom EMC standard.
Balanced-Unbalanced Antenna Structures and Baluns
This article explains the operation of a balun that transforms an unbalanced antenna structure into a balanced one.
Let’s Talk About… Baluns
What is an antenna Balun? The term balun is a portmanteau (a blending of two words) of balanced/unbalanced – BAL-UN.
New Lightning Hazards to Consider for Aircraft Certification
The evolution of E and H fields on aircraft struck by lightning is a complex process. An October 2014 in-flight lightning strike is reviewed in this article as an example that inspires a fresh look at how lightning E and H fields should be considered for indirect effects certification.
