Normalized radiation pattern of E_ \theta in rectangular plot elevation cut. Normalized radiation pattern of E_ \theta in polar plot elevation cut.
Normalized radiation pattern of \(E_ \theta\) in rectangular plot elevation cut Normalized radiation pattern of \(E_ \theta\) in polar plot elevation Ccut

Formula

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}

U(\theta) (pattern \, normalized) \simeq \left [ \frac{cos (\frac{kL}{2}cos \theta)-cos(\frac{kL}{2})}{sin\theta} \right ]^2

Where:
\lambda = Wavelength
\nu = Frequency
L = Total Length of Dipole Antenna
U(\theta) (pattern \, normalized) =The normalized (to 0 dB) elevation power pattern over \theta
The angular wavenumber k=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda } expresses the number of radians in a unit of distance
