A simplified analytical expression is used to obtain the current distribution and radiation pattern for dipoles of arbitrary length and arranged in a V fashion. The results are compared to moment method solutions for the same geometry, as well as a sinusoidal approximation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
