How does the feed point impedance of a 1/2 wave dipole change as the feed point is moved from the center toward the ends?

AnswerIt steadily increases

A center-fed half-wave dipole has relatively low impedance at the center and very high impedance near the ends. Moving the feed point outward therefore raises impedance.
