Why does a dipole in space have a radiation pattern shaped like a doughnut i.e.
no or less radiation off the ends of the dipole?
Related to this question: Why is the radiation from a dipole over ground have
its strongest radiation from the center of the dipole.
Yes the current is strongest at the center, but why?
I have tried to find the explanation in a dozen or more antenna books but to no
avail. I can speculate but perhaps some Towertalkians can explain it or offer
their speculation?
