Antenna theory halfwave folded dipole a folded dipole is an antenna, with two conductors connected on both sides, and folded to form a cylindrical closed shape, to which feed is given at the center. About half wave antennas a half wave antenna is a resonant radiating element with an electrical length of one half wave. The most common half wave antenna is the centerfed dipole, whose. Half wave dipole page 1 half wave dipole the dipole we have studied so far is not terribly useful, since it is not very e ciency and di cult to impedancematch to. Also, there may often be a need to combine different. The most commonly used is the centerfed halfwave dipole which is just under a halfwavelength long. Its gain is about 3 db greater than a half wave dipole, the highest gain of any dipole of any similar length. While still retaining the length between the ends of half a wavelength, an additional length of conductor connects the two ends together i.
