This distribution assumes that the current vanishes at the two end points i.e.,
. The plot of current distribution are shown in the figure 7.7 for different 'l'.

Half Wave Dipole Antenna: Let us consider linear antennas of finite length and having negligible diameter. For such antennas, when fed at the center, a reasonably good approximation of the current is given by, |
