The Radiation $Q$ -Factor of a Horizontal $\lambda/2$ Dipole Above Ground Plane

Closed-form equations are given for radiation quality factor of a thin-wire $\lambda/2$ dipole above an infinite electric ground plane. Particular results of interest include a simple formula for a small separation between the dipole and the ground and for one dipole in free space.
