Abstract
The results of an experimental program to evaluate the electric field near dipole antennas are presented. The measured field intensities are compared with the numerical values computed using the theory developed in Part I of this paper. The theoretical and measured field intensities are in excellent correlation even for observation points spaced from the axis of the dipole less than one hundredth of a wavelength. For thin dipoles (radius ≃ .002λ) the experimental measure of the E-field at the antenna surface or at one antenna radius distance has not been possible because of the practical limitation of available instruments. The experimental and theoretical results show that the field intensities near some parts of a dipole antenna are higher than predicted by commonly used formulas.Keywords
