GIVEN
• E, Electric field [V/m]
• H, Magnetic field [A/m]
• B, Magnetic Flux density, [T = Wb/m2]
• D, Electric Flux density [C/m2]
• Je, Current density [A/m2]
• e, Electric Charge density [C/m3]
Moreover, B and D fields depend on E and H fields through
constitutive relations of the media where they propagate.
In vacuum or in an isotropic media: D= ·E, B= ·H where [F/m]
is the permittivity while [H/m] is the permeability.
When frequency = 0 (stationary fields), E field
and H field are uncoupled

RADIATION PROPERTIES OF A SHORT
DIPOLE ANTENNA
Short dipole antenna = Short dl wire with a current I.
More complex wired antennas can be seen as a set of elementary dipole antennas

For a given frequency, the structure of the Electric field radiated from a short dipole
antenna strictly depends on r/ value
NEAR FIELD ZONE (r/ <<1) STATIONARY or NON RADIATIVE FIELD
Electrotecnics formulations to solve such problems… (think about to 50 Hz
electric sources: f = 50 Hz = 6000 km… the radiated field does not vary
inside typical circuits length!)
Electric Field and Magnetic field are independent
With reference to the small dipole antenna, both Er and E Electric field
components coexist
RADIATIVE FIELD (r/ > 1)
Raileigh zone (r<< D2/(2 ) )
Fresnel zone (D2/(2 ) <r< 2D2/ )
Fraunhofer or FAR FIELD zone (2D2/ << r)
With reference to the small dipole antenna, Er Electric
field component vanishes for r/ >> 1
