Abstract
In practice the monopole is not simply Haifa dipole; such a situation is only true when the ground plane is infinite and, as will be demonstrated below, even very large ground planes give radiation patterns significantly different from that on an infinite plane. The ground plane affects the performance of the monopole not only because it is finite in size but because the capacitance between the base of the monopole and the ground plane differs from that between two halves of a dipole.
