What is the common name of a dipole with a single central support?
- A.Inverted V (correct answer)
- B.Inverted L
- C.Sloper
- D.Lazy H
WhyA dipole with a single central support is commonly called an inverted V. A half-wave dipole supported only at its center, with the two legs sloping downward from that single support point, is commonly called an inverted V, answer A. An inverted L, a sloper, and a lazy H describe different antenna geometries with different support arrangements, none matching a single-center-support, drooping-leg dipole.
