The impedance at the center of the antenna is known as?

A)
Radiation resistance
B)
Recovery resistance
C)
Transmission impedance
D)
Characteristic impedance

Correct Answer :   Radiation resistance


Explanation : The transmission line is connected at the center. The dipole has an impedance of 73 V at its center, which is the radiation resistance. At the resonant frequency, the antenna appears to be a pure resistance of 73 V.
