 From IEEE Standard Definitions of Terms for Antennas:

"2.102 dipole antenna. Any one of a class of antennas producing a 
radiation pattern approximating that of an
elementary electric dipole. Syn: doublet antenna.
NOTE---Common usage considers the dipole antenna to be a metal radiating 
structure that supports a line current distribution
similar to that of a thin straight wire so energized that the current 
has a node only at each end."
