1. A dipole, comprising:
- a feed line electrically coupled to a first antenna element;
a balun electrically coupled to a second antenna element; and
a short assembly slidably coupled to the feed line and the balun to create a short circuit at variable distances along the feed line and the balun.

12. A dipole, comprising:
-
a variable length antenna element; a feed line coupled to the variable length antenna element; a balun; and a switch assembly slidably coupled to the feed line and the balun, wherein, when the switch assembly is closed, the switch assembly creates a short circuits at variable distances along the feed line and the balun. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A short assembly for a dipole antenna including a feed line connected to a first antenna element and a balun connected to a second antenna element, the short assembly comprising:
-
a first conductive portion; and a second conductive portion detachably coupleable to the first conductive portion, wherein, when the first and second conductive portions are coupled, the first and second conductive portions form two vias for receiving the balun and the feed line. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
