The impedance at the centre of a dipole antenna more than 3 wavelengths above ground would be nearest to:

  1. A 300 ohms
  2. B 600 ohms
  3. C 75 ohms
  4. D 25 ohms

Correct answer: C — 75 ohms. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

When a dipole antenna sits high above the ground, specifically more than three wavelengths up, the earth no longer influences its electrical behaviour. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
