% This is a MATLAB based program written to aid in the design of folded dipole antennas.
%
% The folded dipole is used in applications where the characteristic
% impedance, Zc, of the input transmission line is larger than 50 or 75
% ohms. In these situations, the single element dipole would not provide
% good matching characteristics with the transmission line. In order to
% provide better matching characteristics, a folded wire, which forms a very
% thin (s<<lambda) rectangular loop, is used. To generalize the design, the
% radii of the two wires of the folded dipole are not necessarily the same.
% The radius of the dipole is represented by a and that of the feed wire
% element is a’. The folded dipole serves as a step-up impedance
% transformer. This is very useful when used in conjuction with high
% impedance balanced transmission lines such as “twin-lead” transmission
% lines. Two capacitors, C, of equal value are placed in series at the feed
% point of the dipole to allow the circuit to resonate and to keep the line
% balanced. In the case that the total input impedance is capacitive, a
% single inductor, Lin, is placed in parallel at the feed point of the
% dipole to allow the circuit to resonate and to keep the line balanced.
%
% To analyze this antenna, the user must enter the following quantities:
% 1. Dipole radius, a, (in wavelengths)
% 2. Feed wire dipole radius, a’, (in wavelengths)
% 3. Center-to-center wire separation, s, (in wavelengths)
% If impedance is calculated for dipole of known length
% 4. Dipole length, L, (in wavelengths)
% If antenna impedance is specified
% 5. The antenna input resistance, Rd, (in ohms)
% 6. The antenna input reactance, Xd, (in ohms)
% 7. Frequency for which to resonate, f, (in MHz)
% 8. The real characteristic impedance of the line feeding the antenna, Zc, (in ohms)
%
% The program computes the following quantities:
% 1. The wire current division factor, alpha
% 2. Effective radius, ae, (in wavelengths)
% 3. Input impedance of the single element dipole, Zd, (in ohms)
% 4. Characteristic impedance for the transmission line mode, Zo,
% (in ohms)
% 5. Transmission line mode impedance, Zt, (in ohms)
% 6. Total input resistance, Rin, (in ohms)
% 7. Total input reactance, Xin, (in ohms)
% If the total input reactance is inductive
% 8. Total input capacitance, Cin, to resonate the dipole
% (in farads)
