dipole antenna

Meaning "two poles," a dipole antenna is the simplest type of antenna, consisting of an electrically conducting wire or rod one half the length of the maximum desired wavelength. The wire or rod is split at the center with an insulator. Each end at the center is connected to the feed line, typically via a balun to a coaxial cable (see balun).
