Your dipole is not the dipole but the monopole with the one radial.

He's baaaaack!

And he's still really wrong.

This should be fun!

Well, you must admit we could use something to jumpstart discussions on this
newsgroup.

Maybe SB can explain the difference between a monopole with a single
ungrounded radial, and a dipole.

The dipole with grounded one leg is quite different from the "symmetrical
dipole".

According to the official IEEE definition of a "dipole", it is any antenna
with approximately the same radiation pattern as a dipole.

Of course: "Dipoles have a radiation pattern, shaped like a toroid
(doughnut) symmetrical about the axis of the dipole. The radiation is
maximum at right angles to the dipole, dropping off to zero on the antenna's
axis. The theoretical maximum gain of a Hertzian dipole is 10 log 1.5 or
1.76 dBi. The maximum theoretical gain of a ?/2-dipole is 10 log 1.64 or
2.15 dBi."

The antenna like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Di..._in_meters.png

". However, coax is not symmetrical and thus not a balanced feeder. It is
unbalanced because the outer shield is connected to earth potential at the
other end. When a balanced antenna such as a dipole is fed with an
unbalanced feeder, common mode currents can cause the coax line to radiate
in addition to the antenna itself,[5] and the radiation pattern may be
asymmetrically distorted"

Such antenna is MECHANICALY symmetrical.
But electrically is rather like the Marconi monopole:

Remember: The grounded leg is the radial.

You think that because one end of the coax has its shield grounded,
the other end has its shield at ground potential.
That is not true. At radio frequencies, there can be a potential
at one end of a conductor even when the other end is grounded.

It will result in a radiating outer conductor of the coax, but not
in a grounded leg of the dipole.

Yes -- I must admit now that I look forward to his
inputs which are amusing if nothing else.
Entertainment -- YES! Information -- NOT!.

Who of yours want to have the directional antenna?

Each radial, grounded or not (but connected to the shield of the coax), is
the ground.
The Earth, the Moon, a satelite and each piece of conductor is ground for
antennas. Radial is one of them.
Ground must be adequate to kW.

Monopole is not directional.
Dipole is directional.

Wrong.
