Abstract :
Input admittances of dipole antennas with moderately high internal impedance were measured in the UHF range with the antenna lengths varying from one-tenth wavelength to such a value that the antenna behaved as if infinitely long. The measured results are compared with the three-term theory of King and Wu[1] and with the theoretical values obtained by Shen and Wu[3] for an infinitely long antenna.
