What is the feed point impedance of an end-fed half-wave antenna?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Very high
A half-wave antenna has high voltage and low current at its ends. Feeding it at the end therefore gives a very high feed point impedance, usually needing a matching transformer.
Tip: End-fed half-wave: very high impedance.
