It behaves essentially as a dipole antenna. The XY search coils are oriented to be parallel to the XY dipole antenna. Each dipole antenna can encode one bit. It was spin stabilised with a dipole antenna producing a pancake shaped waveform. The wellhead and the ground rod form the two electrodes of a dipole antenna. The Sloper Antenna is a slanted Dipole antenna. AO-6 had a 1.3 watt transmitter into a half-wave dipole antenna. Alternatively a dipole antenna can be used for HF skywave operation. The electric dipole antenna was mounted at the tip of the magnetometer boom. A magnetic dipole antenna also protruded from the top of the upper cone. Many CubeSats use an omnidirectional monopole or dipole antenna built with commercial measuring tape. Obviously, the usual half-wavelength dipole antenna cannot be feasibly constructed.
