How does the feed point impedance of a 1/2 wave dipole change as the feed point is moved from the center toward the ends?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. It steadily increases
Along a half-wave dipole, current is highest at the center and voltage is highest at the ends. Moving the feed point toward an end makes the impedance steadily increase.
Tip: Feed near the ends: impedance rises.
