This doesn't really do what you think it does.  You still have a half
wave antenna, but now it is off-center fed.  If the matching ability is
improved, that's good, but it is not because there are two resonances.
It is partly because the feedpoint impedance is different and partly
because the antenna is no longer balanced, which may actually improve
things due to radiation from the coax.
