Results and Discussion<br />

The dipole antenna is fed with a voltage signal of 1 V, and from the measured current<br />

it is possible to extract the impedance. Taken from Ref. 1, the impedance and<br />

dimensions of a typical dipole antenna are shown in the table below. The dimensions<br />

are given in terms of the wavelength, λ.<br />

WAVELENGTH LENGTH RADIUS IMPEDANCE<br />

0.3 0.47λ 0.005λ<br />

The impedance from the COMSOL Multiphysics model is 78.08 + 11.88i, which<br />

agrees well with the results from Ref. 1.<br />
