Blooms Taxonomy Level : L1,L2,L3, L4
Resonant Antennas: Wires and Patches,
Resonant Wire Antennas with
• Zero input reactance at resonance
• Straight wire dipoles, vee-dipoles, folded
dipoles, Yagi-Uda arrays and loops.
• Microstrip Antennas which are also resonant
antennas
• A resonant antenna is a standing wave antenna
• (ex:dipole) with zero i/p reactance at resonance)
Dipole Antennas

• Dipoles of arbitrary length

• Current distribution
• Sinusoidal distribution (good approximation for
thin antenna measurements)
• Zero at ends
• Thin antennas for which the conductor diameter
is on the order of 0.01λ or smaller
