Hi,
I am pretty new to antenna analysis.
I'm trying to figure out what the radiation pattern
of a dipole bent in half 90 degrees (in the shape
of an L) looks like. Can I calculate the pattern
mathematically or should I just use simulation software?
Also, how would I calculate the input impedance
of such an antenna?
Thanks.

Greetings Guest: Use of an EM simulator appears
to be in order to get a meaningful field pattern
and input impedance. My cheap FM stereo antenna
works great when I bend it in the middle (approximately)
to get the best pickup in my somewhat rural location.
A couple free EM programs are available on the
"Antenna, Electromagnetics & Transmission Line
Simulators" area on the software page.
Let us know what you come up with.
