But what radiate in 0.05WL dipole? There the

The feed point is also in the transmissing line.

The feed point is the part of the transmissing line and not radiate.


Pick one of the above comments, only, Szczepan.


The feed points are terminals of the antenna. On center-fed dipoles

that are 1/2WL or less in length, antenna current is highest at those
terminals.

Highest antenna current do not means high enough to radiate. The high
current is in transmissing line of the short antennas.
In 0.05 no currents at all at the feed point.

How long are the folded dipoles and the

loop antennas? Are there the short version?


They can be any length, but some lengths have better input

characteristics and/or more useful radiation patterns than others.

Are a loop antennas 0.05WL?
