Dipole Radiation Pattern
Artwork
Each antenna has a different radiation pattern, the images bellow show the radiation pattern of a dipole antenna. I was interested in creating the toroid of a dipole as there is certain quality to its convergence and symmetry.
These renders are aesthetic illustrations and do not portray any useful information, normally scientific visualizations would show dB levels as graduating hues, for this creation I was only interested in the geometric forms.
