A simple trigonometric expansion for the current in the solution of Hallen's equation gives a good approximation to the impedance of isolated thin cylindrical dipole antennas. For the half-wavelength dipole a two-term representation for the current is found to give an impedance which compares favorably with experimental measurements.
