Dipole Elevation Pattern Simulator

Explore how the estimated broadside elevation pattern of an Alpha Delta DX-EE changes across 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters as its effective height changes over a sloped site.

Reading the plot

What the model shows

Height in wavelengths

The same physical wire sits progressively higher in wavelengths as frequency rises. That is why the higher bands develop additional, lower-angle lobes.

Lower-angle radiation

Lower elevation angles are generally more useful for long-distance paths, while high-angle radiation can favor shorter regional paths.

Useful approximation

This is an idealized image-theory model. Real soil, wire geometry, loading coils, nearby objects, and the actual terrain profile will change the measured pattern.
