Dipole antennas are easy, right? Just follow the formula, cut two pieces of wire, attach your feedline, and you’re on the air. But then again, maybe not. You’re always advised to cut t… ...

A Dipole antenna consists of two long pieces of wire or metal tubing, forming a straight line but not connected to each other, feeding into a pair of wires leading to a radio receiver. A monopole ...

This article shows how a dipole and and ground plane antenna are similar but also different.

The antenna is deployed by attaching a feedline to the BNC, clipping quarter-wave wires into the Wago terminals, and hoisting the whole thing aloft. Full build details are in the video below.

The paper is titled "Measurement of the electric dipole moment of AlCl by Stark-level spectroscopy." Until now, the dipole moment of AlCl was only estimated, with no experimental confirmation.
