There is an electrical discontinuity at the center point of the dipole; where the dipole is "balanced", and the feed coax is "unbalanced". This discontinuity causes some disruption in the flow of energy, a reflection of some amount of it.
Specifically in the center-fed resonant dipole, this engineer recommends a 1:1 voltage balun (aka ...
