Dipole antennas are a type of antenna that consist of two conductive elements, typically metal rods or wires, that are oriented in a straight line and separated by a small gap. These antennas are widely used in radio and telecommunications applications due to their simplicity and effectiveness. When a dipole antenna is energized with an alternating current, it generates a radiating electromagnetic field that propagates outward. The length of the dipole elements is typically half the wavelength of the desired operating frequency, which allows for efficient radiation and reception of electromagnetic waves. V-Dipole antennas, on the other hand, are a variation of dipole antennas where the two elements are bent to form a "V" shape.
