You might look at J. Kraus, Antennas, second edition.  That book 
is considered by many to be the ultimate reference in this area.

I was going to quote some answers from the book but find that I can't
since the antenna type designations are ambiguous.  Does "long dipole"
means 1/2 wave, or longer?  What is the difference between input
impedance and radiation resistance -- the reactance, the losses, or what?

Anyway, here's an attempt...

Antenna Type    	Effective   Input	 Radiation
			Aperture    Impedance	 Resistance

Short Dipole	 	0.119	      		2 Ohm for .1 wave
Long Dipole (1/2 wave) 	0.13		 	73 Ohm

  ^ is that a loop?  What size?
