Abstract
A honeycomb wire antenna is numerically analysed. The radiation in the direction normal to the antenna plane is linearly polarised with a low cross-polarisation component of <-30 dB. The gain is dependent on the interior angles of the radiation cell. The maximum gain for a honey comb antenna of two cells by 17 cells with interior angles of 70° is ~20.5 dB, and the gain drop over a 4% frequency bandwidth is ~2.56 dB
